Now that I think about it more, one of the main convincing reason for me to try this out was ‘s comment about how it helps keep in touch with people that you don’t see often, letting them see a synopsis of what’s going on.

Well, I’ve decided that enough people think that this is a useful tool for keeping up to date on each other that I figure I’ll try it, at least for a while. Perhaps this journal will become a continuing quest to discover exactly what its usefulness is.

Although, I’m starting to see it. Not quite, but I can start to see why people find it popular, although some aspects (current music? separate clients?) still baffle me.

I’ve been seeing more and more how the Internet is containing the collective knowledge of all mankind. Perhaps what’s going on day-to-day in people’s lives was the one thing missing from that. Places like Google and the Internet Archive keep an archive of everything that anybody anywhere knows. Future generations will have an amazingly huge record of everything that ever occurred from this generation onward.

Kinda a neat thing to think about.
