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.

It would be cool if it was possible to have a central utility that would post to whichever journal you wanted to post to. Sort of like Gaim lets you use whatever IM service you want to use. Then you could open up your journal program, type your entry, click on the one or more places you'd like the post to appear and voila!

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.

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.
