The Emo Diaries: No Wonder the Band Is Called Confessional Written by: Jon Caramanica Published by: The New York Times "I'm 15, I'm a chick, I'm from South Carolina, and I'm black," writes one journal keeper. "I'm also depressed, cynical, sarcastic and bisexual. Get over it."
Andy Greenwald, author of the forthcoming book "Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers and Emo" (St. Martin's), says emo music ends up taking a back seat to the communities it helps foster. "What kids want at that age is to be taken seriously," he said, "and that's what emo and these diaries allow. The impulse to LiveJournal is the same as to go to the show and sing your heart out in front of strangers." ( Read More - Free registration required ) | | Sunday, July 27th, 2003 | | 5:26 pm |
Homeless.com Written by: Johnny Diaz Published by: The Boston Globe For some homeless people, keeping an online journal is a way for friends to keep track of them.
For some who read them, the journals open windows to a reality foreign to their gotta-go lifestyle.
For Evans, the journal keeps her ''sane'' and centered amid a life of uncertainty. ( Read More ) | | Friday, July 11th, 2003 | | 7:45 am |
Travel talk: Online and dangerous Written by: Nick Easen Published by: CNN.com "The need is just beginning to be met in such a niche like business travel, you have a look at personal community sites like www.livejournal.com. The demand is incredible," Daniel Baker who runs online travel community www.ITYT.com told CNN.
"People constantly strive to find people that they relate to. The Internet has allowed people to expand the opportunity to meet [others] with similar interests. These communities have to be developed and built to bridge the final gap," he reiterates. ( Read More ) | | Tuesday, July 8th, 2003 | | 2:11 pm |
The gay blogging revolution Written by: Dave White Published by: The AdvocateAnd in addition to the serious political deliberations by well-known gay journalists like Andrew Sullivan and Michelangelo Signorile are teenage lesbian Wiccan circles, bisexual mountain-climber diaries, gay punk-rock fan sites, and gossipy bear journals.

Blogs in the Workplace Written by: William O'Shea Published by: The New York TimesAt Community Connect, Mr. Tang's engineers use a service called LiveJournal to post updates about tasks like fixing server computers or configuring software. Hitting the upload button sends the text to a private site, viewable by the authors and their managers, including the date and time of the postings and, often, links to relevant Web pages.
"When I want to know something I check the Web log," Mr. Tang said. "It saves me the trouble of e-mailing people or yelling across the room to get a status update." ( Read More (purchase required) ) | | Tuesday, April 22nd, 2003 | | 2:00 am |
Online, Some Bloggers Never Die Written by: Christopher NullPublished by: Wired NewsGarrett Palm, a close friend of Heideman's, said he has mixed feelings about the journal's continuing presence in cyberspace.
"I'm glad to have Adrian's LiveJournal still around, although I never visit it anymore," said Palm. "I keep it on my 'friends' list just so I can see his name every so often, but I can never bring myself to click on his name. The first year or so after he passed on I visited it with decreasing regularity, until eventually I couldn't handle the emotions. I had to move on. But the idea that it is still around is comforting … it's almost as if he isn't dead." ( Read More ) | | Wednesday, April 9th, 2003 | | 7:24 pm |
Online journals give people chances to vent feelings, catch up with friends Written by: Nicole Mullins Published by: Indiana Statesman Online EditionMy blog of choice is LiveJournal. On that host, I have found many interesting people. But the catch is, I don't really have to know them. I can peruse through days and days of people's inner thoughts and daily happenings with just the click of a mouse. ( Read More ) | | Monday, March 17th, 2003 | | 7:07 pm |
He wuz a sk8er boi… Written by: Sunny Crittenden Published by: Marketing MagazineIf an ad agency felt so inclined, it could pay a group of, say, five people to read blogs written by teenagers on the Internet for six months and get more accurate data than six years of focus groups.
Advertisers and creatives alike are pretty arrogant in thinking they "know" young people. The biggest downfall in advertising to today's "troubled youth" is that they can smell a phony at 10 paces. How does a teenager do this? It's pretty easy and it's 90% language, so learn the language. (I'm going to throw in here that I seriously despise the TV spot for Corn Pops where they say, "A day without Corn Pops is like a day without a skateboard," or something to that effect. I can hear the collective groan of every teenager in Canada every time I see this spot.) ( Read More (free registration required) ) | | Sunday, January 19th, 2003 | | 9:32 am |
The accidental entrepreneur Written by: Inara Verzemnieks Published by: The OregonianIt is from here that Fitzpatrick, who is 22 and favors sweat shirts and jeans, tends to the demands of a community approaching 1 million — a chaotic collection of voices around the world, communicating with each other through Fitzpatrick's accidental success, LiveJournal.com, a site that helps people craft online journals.

Not just Idol talk Written by: Bruce C. Steele Published by: The AdvocateBefore American Idol even started—before I even knew about it—I was at Columbia at the time and I started a "live journal" at Livejournal.com. You can pick a font, some colors, and depending on what mood you’re in at that time, and you just write what you’re feeling, what happened that day, like, the music that you’re listening to at that time. And I was totally open, because at that point I was a no-body, it was good because random people can just read it. It’s open to the public.

Their Heart on Their Screen Written by: Francesca Di Meglio Published by: Ladies' Home JournalAt LiveJournal.com, a blog home base, of sorts, the need to build a Web page or buy software is eliminated (users only have to sign up before letting it all out). And letting it out teens are. Says the site's supervisor and developer Jesse Proulx: "Some kids even consider blogging a new form of therapy" ( January 2003 Edition, Page 88 ) | | Sunday, November 17th, 2002 | | 12:26 pm |

But the extraordinary growth of a site called LiveJournal suggests that the genre might be gaining ground in the mainstream. For many young people, keeping a Web journal is less about soul-searching than about keeping in touch with a circle of friends and perhaps expanding it.
