Dear Diary (Part 1/2)
Keeping a diary or a journal used to be something that you did in private. You’d get a little notebook and a pen and wait until no one was around so that you could write down your innermost thoughts. Then you’d take your diary and shove it back under the mattress where no one else would find it. Well, now people are ditching the pen and paper and are choosing to keep their diaries online. That’s right. People actually keep online diaries that everyone (including your mom and dad) can read.
There are several online diary web sites floating around out there. But, perhaps one of the most popular ones I’ve seen is something called LiveJournal.com. This is a site devoted to those who wish to keep a record of their thoughts for others to see. For example, I just read a journal post from someone who was talking about all of the things they needed to do today to include getting their graduate school paperwork together and visiting family in Green Bay. The cool feature about LiveJournal (and other sites like it) is that you don’t have to make your diary “public” if you don’t want to. You can choose to keep it private so that only you can read it…at least, that’s what they tell you. Who knows, perhaps somewhere, there’s a bunch of computer geeks huddled around one computer in a basement pointing to your journal entry and laughing while they exchange high fives. I guess we’ll never know.
