Hello,

I never thought I would join the blog world…but I did. It’s interesting and it gives you and excuse to write and puts the pressure on you to get your word out there!

I am a journaling advocate and you might be interested in reading my memoir, Regina’s CLoset: Finding My Grandmother’s Secret Journal.

Happy writing!

@Jason. A blog? I am amazed. Who would actually want to share their diary? Isn’t it supposed to be private? What’s with all the sharing?

I think diaries will always exist primarily as an offline activity because of the novelty and personality that comes with handwriting. New age diary writers are more into community, sharing things that once prior would be seen as private. Blogging and micro blogging have eclipsed the diary concept and redefined it. Diary.com will do fine, but the lines aren’t established enough as to why you will be writing in a diary online and not in a blog. Couldn’t you have a blog that is your diary? I’m just not sold.

@Mike, when do you get a re-design like the flagship?

Seriously, their blog http://blog.diary.com/ is Powered by Tumblr and wouldn’t Tumblr be their competitor? I would have used their own product for their blog rather than Tumblr.

Interesting idea, but is this just another site we signup up for, use for a while before we get bored with it. The amount of my friends now that are not using facebook anymore is growing. People are now getting bored with it.
