I resisted the trend of keeping a journal online for a long time. Eventually I gave in to the pressure. I kind of liked it for a while, especially when I could comment on other people's and get comments from them. But the thing about most journal sites is that they have no context. I mean, people are not there for having any particular common interests. The whole thing seems to quickly degenerate into a parade of gripes and whines and personal press releases. Combine this with the claim that most of the popular journaling sites supposedly discourage "commercial" activity, but don't police evenly or properly and they sure like to charge for what they provide and . . . well, I don't think I'm enjoying the journal thing as much as I used to and I wondered whether other people felt the same way.
