weblog vs journal

A reporter wanted to do an email interview of my weblog because it was “appealing". Naturally I got confused so I asked her “is it the group blog , BLOGGED or my online journal, nimrodel.net?” When she replied that it was nimrodel.net, I wrote her back and said that it is more of a journal than a weblog. If you want to see the difference, read this journal vs. weblog. The online journals became the trend before the weblog so there seems to be a bit of confusion there. However, some don’t make a distinction and combine a journal and a weblog . Sometimes I blog snippets of my life in BLOGGED without much fanfare . But clearly, “A person who keeps a diary or journal online is logging their life, not the web, no matter how they get their words out.”

Have you noticed that online journals are a dying breed? How many journals do you read now? Blogs are just easier to read , especially if you have 30 daily blog links.

    Hmm. Maybe it\’s also due to our every decreasing attention spans.

    yeah I like to make a distinction between journal and weblog, although I do post personal stuff on the weblog alongside w/ the webby things. But I hardly look at my weblog archive .. it\’s just for sporadic posting. /me still luffs her journal .. (that isn\’t updated enough.. sniff)

    Online journals are great for catching up on news of online friends.
