Oumae -> Journal sites? (5/23/2005 6:34:10 AM)

Would really appreciate any recommendations of good online journal sites that can be pass-worded.

Thanks!

Oumae

Livejournal.com

I know of no other sites. A few of my friends use Live Journal though and are happy with it.

Livejournal is excellent. I also quite enjoy MySpace and I've heard some wonderful things about Blogger.com

I also use the journal here.

I got onto LJ just because so many of my friends use it (peer pressure!) and have begun copying and pasting from here to there.

THere are lots of places to post your ramblings, try a google search.



perverseangelic -> RE: Journal sites? (5/23/2005 10:29:27 AM)

I love livejournal.

you can put up various filters, so you can have some friends see some things but not others. Useful!



EmeraldSlave2 -> RE: Journal sites? (5/23/2005 10:38:52 AM)

I find it annoying, and the reason I signed on so my friends wouldn't have to keep emailing their posts to me separately. I think it heightens the "clique" aspect of things and is used more often than not as a way to say "you're not really that much a friend."

I see LJ as an exhibitionistic/voyeuristic exercise in overt narcissicm, often reducing to whining and passive aggressiveness.

But it has its fun points.



perverseangelic -> RE: Journal sites? (5/23/2005 12:45:02 PM)

I agree if you want your journal widely read.

I mean, I wouldn't friends-lock something I'd proceed to expect my friends to read.

I use my friend's filters to give people the option to bow out of my sex life :) I'm a VERY mild exhibitionist, but don't see the need to inflict that on the world at large. I use my friendslist to give people the option of -not- reading the sex stuff :)

My filters -are- open to everything, they're just places that give the option of not reading.
But, yeah, I know what you mean. There's a couple people I know on there who are really weird about their friends lists "comment or get cut." I generally get cut

Yeah, narcissistic, totally. It's a self-absorbed indulgence I allow myself.

well... a paper journal being hand written is narcissitic, isn't it? and why wouldn't an online journal be?



CalliopePurple -> RE: Journal sites? (5/24/2005 12:36:07 AM)

I use LJ and I have since January. As perverse said, the filtering is great. For example, I know that some people won't enjoy reading the stories I write/post there, so I have a filter for the people that enjoy it. And it's just great to vent there when I have no friends online to ramble to.

I'd keep a pen and paper journal, but I have a slight hand tremor and writing longhand is illegible/occasionally painful.

I think adding the voyeuristic/exhibitionistic aspect into it takes it to a very different level than the average angsty outpourings of journals in the past. The population of meme's and "tell me why you think this" adds an interactive aspect, it adds to the overinformation age and feeds into the narcissism at a much higher level.



SweetDommes -> RE: Journal sites? (5/24/2005 8:04:54 AM)

We both have live-journal and use it ... fairly regularly. I post in mine more often than Holly posts in hers, but I'm just that kind of person.

I do have it so that only friends can comment (or I used to ... I changed it intending to change it back later, but I can't remember if I did or not) but I do tell anyone who has my lj screen name that it is an adult journal that discusses adult things - if they can't handle that, and/or may have trouble with S.O.s/roommates for reading adult content, then they know to stay away from my journal - or at least not read it too closely. I figure if they have advance warning that there is adult content (not sexually explicit, but I do talk about BDSM and a few other things) then it is their choice to read or not read.



gothicdraconica -> RE: Journal sites? (5/24/2005 10:26:39 AM)

There is also Dead Journal and Greatest Journal.



ravenna -> RE: Journal sites? (5/24/2005 11:47:43 PM)

Exhibitionistic? Voyeuristic? Narcissistic? Oooh, i can do those, can i play too? Wait, are those supposed to be bad things all of a sudden? Was there a memo i missed on Things Not Nice to Do in Your Own Fucking Journal??

My exhibitionistic new little journal is on LiveJournal too, just look for ravenna_amorosa, and i am such a complete newbie at this blogosphere and journalmania thing that's going on, but so far it's turned out to be all those evil things mentioned above and more. Tomorrow, of course, it might be time for something completely different. That's what i'm loving about it, i am free (there's that funny word again) to please only my owners and myself, and if anyone else is interested or amused or aroused they're very welcome, but they're also quite welcome to change the channel... "Hand me that TV Guide, Mabel, there must be something on that's less exhibitionistic and voyeuristic and narcissistic..."



gothicdraconica -> RE: Journal sites? (5/25/2005 1:09:23 AM)

BassGothess at Live Journal.



MzBerlin -> RE: Journal sites? (5/25/2005 1:29:04 AM)

I would just like to make it known that ravennas' journal is FAB. It is funny and informative and oh-so-dirty....
*just how I like it*
Seriously, she is a wonderful writer....

ravenna -> RE: Journal sites? (5/25/2005 7:53:36 AM)

Wow, my first unsolicited celebrity endorsement! Thank you, darling, and i want to point everyone to mzberlin on LiveJournal, nobody can make a scene in an airport like this beautiful babe, America's newest sex radio star, and no one looks hotter trussed up in rope either... Kisses, darling B, you're a doll!



junecleaver -> RE: Journal sites? (5/25/2005 2:04:26 PM)

www.greatestjournal.com

It's like livejournal, but better. You can customize the look of your journal and you have your own place to upload pictures and such.



Oumae -> RE: Journal sites? (5/25/2005 3:41:01 PM)

Thanks again everyone for the help.
