hehe, I'd rate that last post as a 5 for funny.
Livejournal, IMO, is only useful if you have REAL-LIFE friends who use it too. So if you're friends are actually beyond the maturity of a middle-schooler, and you only add them as your livejournal friends - then it's all good.
As far as the service goes I have no major complaints. The web design/interface as previously mentioned by another/.'er is unwieldy and difficult. There are other services just as good.
This does do a good job of keeping you up to date with friends and family that you would otherwise contact and talk to via instant messenger, phone, or.. in person. *gasp* This is just another medium to do such a thing, IMO.
The entire purpose of having a journal online is to share it with others. While I don't post every miniscule thought, reaction, or whine, I do record what recent experiences I found to be either interesting, insightful, or funny - sound familiar??
And I do enjoy reading entries written by my real life friends who also use LiveJournal or some other blog. It's a good way to catch up with many friends within a few minutes without having to wait for a reasonable hour of the day and picking up a phone to find out. The benefits of using a blog service such as livejournal are recording key moments in one's life... and being able to share them with friends - if you... have any.
Wait a minute... blogs are considered digital garbage? I take it you haven't visited the following: http://www.wibsite.com/wiblog/dull/
This is not only a blog, but it's artistic genius and hilarious as well! Digital garbage? There can be no such thing!
