I like how easy it was for me, my friends & family (and even complete strangers) could easily read what i had written in real time when using livejournal as opposed by having them come over just so they can see someone's diary/blog! It really helped with keeping people updated about their lives without actually being there all of once - which would be nice if you know where your loved ones are at any given moment!! Also makes things easier from posting pictures too because its linked directly into each post rather than adding photos separately- saves lots more typing :D It's easy to write and easy to read. It also has some nice features, like commenting on posts and sending private messages. I don't like that you can't add things like pictures and other media to your journal. It's not very user friendly. I also don't like how there are so many ads when you're using it. I'd rather pay for the service. It's easy to use, and it's free. I'm not sure why people use other sites like Facebook and Tumblr. They aren't as easy to use, and they are more expensive.
