Beyond LiveJournal: Vox & GreatestJournal
I've ventured into the great wilds beyond LJ -- specifically, Vox and GreatestJournal. I am "hsapiens" in both places. :)
Does anyone actually use these services? What do you use them for? Is there something they do better than LJ that I don't know about? I haven't explored nor have I spent a lot of time setting anything up; just keeping up with LJ is difficult.
If anyone else is also at these sites, feel free to add me to your f-list/neighborhood/whatever they're called. I admit, I got the Greatest Journal because they offer 2,000 icon spots. It's such freedom after the miserly 104 I have here at LJ. (I am such an icon slut.) Too bad I can't use it to post to my LJ.

Would also be good for people who maintain multiple LJ accounts - for example, if they keep an account for a game or project, another for personal stuff, and so on.

And YES! I'd love a way to have multiple LJ accounts and interact with them from one interface. I would love to separate my fannish stuff from my real life stuff but I can't be bothered to log out and back in so I inflict the fandom stuff on friends and the boring "look! I have a navel and lo, I shall gaze upon it" stuff on the fan-friends. I'd love to have a "family" LJ so I could keep the family updated but away from the parts of my life I want them excluded from. It will happen at some point, I'm sure, and so long as it works I expect it'll be very popular. I would post more often if I were better able to target my posts.
I'm glad for the ability to post in my various communities from one interface, but it's always the same identity.

What about GreatestJournal? Do you like that? I've never even heard of it.

Hee! 2000 icons! Yay! I really only post and read LJ, though.

2K icons is absolutely why I joined. As best I can tell, it's built on LJ or they share the same duality. It feels like the Firefox/Netscape deal. I only read an dpost in LJ, too. I feel a little foolish having a plethora of journals but I'm thinking next time LJ goes down, I won't go into complete withdrawal.

I'm going to check out Greatest Journal, though. :-) I don't know if I know of anyone who has that.
I like having the different journals mainly because I'm curious about how they all work, how to set them up, etc. :-)
The only other "journal" that I use is LastFM/AudioScrobbler. I mostly use it because I love to see my own stats--what music I'm listening to the most. As far as the journal part goes, though, it's not that useful because you don't really have a flist like on LJ. If I did, I'd probably read other journals more often. :-)
