A Site to Pour Out Emotions, and Just About Anything Else Online journals have a bad reputation: emotional train wrecks and narcissistic ramblings plastered on the Web for all to see. But the extraordinary growth of a site called LiveJournal suggests that the genre might be gaining ground in the mainstream. For many young people, keeping a Web journal is less about soul-searching than about keeping in touch with a circle of friends and perhaps expanding it. Advertisement

LiveJournal users have built a sizable community around what was once a strictly solitary pursuit. With no advertising, the site (www.livejournal.com) has signed up 690,000 registered users in four years and is adding another 1,100 every day. The site includes software tools that make it easy for members to publish new journal entries, read and comment on the latest updates from friends and find journal-keepers with similar interests.  11:08:37 AM  permalink
