Beyond LiveJournal: Vox & GreatestJournal

[hsapiens]

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.

Oh yes! I was going to say something about eventually they'd make a program that allows you to amalgamate your journals and manage them from one interface, as Trillian and meebo.com do for IM programs. I hadn't heard of Gaim.

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.
