Does anyone else here use LiveJournal? I've found it to be a fantastic source for not only keeping a journal for your own personal reasons, but it's a great place to network with others, meet and make new friends, and join communities and talk about common interests with other people. I've had the fortunate chance to meet five people online through there in Real Life and those are the few friendships I've really grown to value the most.
I think there's a lot to be said about meeting people online and developing a friendship with them before meeting them in Real Life because it takes away that initial face-to-face factor where human beings base too much on what they see and not the words they hear. Online social barriers can be broken down and people are on more equal ground. I think another reasons that those friendships end up working in Real Life as well as online is that they are friendships based first on communication, and everything else becomes secondary.
I'm angelforlife on LiveJournal, should any of you be LJers and looking for friends.
