[QUOTE="Lalato, post: 1220127, member: 9171"] Tarrasque Wrangler... Livejournal isn't quite like blogger. While they do share a similar purpose (creating a journal/diary open for others to read), Livejournal has a larger community aspect that is missing from Blogger. For instance, Livejournal allows for the creation of "community" journals where multiple people can add to the journal. This feature is sort of similar to the way a forum works. Kinda like ENWorld forums we're on right now. There are communities/forums for just about every topic imaginable on Livejournal. My gaming group uses the community feature to keep track of our campaign. Livejournal also has built-in friend tracking. You can designate any number of people as your "friends". This allows you to post things to your journal that are "friends" only. You can also post things that are completely private. There is also a feature that lets you read all of your "friends" journals from one page. You can also designate a community as a "friend". This "friend" capability is one of the best parts of Livejournal. Another thing that promotes community with Livejournal is that in order to get a free account an existing Livejournal user must give you a code. This means that Livejournals get spread from friend to friend thus expanding the community. I think it's rare for people to start off with a paid account. Most people start off with a free account and decide to get a paid account after they've used Livejournal for a while. One might say that Livejournal takes some of the best aspects of Blogger and Friendster. Journaling plus Social Networking... Anyway... that's my $0.02 ;) --sam [/QUOTE]
