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.

Vox doesn't seem to have the same networking that LJ does, of if it does, it's not as readily apparent to me. You can't reply to comments, so that makes it seem more impersonal. I also think you don't get email notification of comments, right? I've never received one, anyway. That makes it not at all useful because I'll never remember to go back and check posts for comments. *g*

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. :-)
