Live Journal is a very popular online site that mainly features personal blogs. However just because it is personal does not mean it can’t have an application to business. Many small businesses subtly promote their businesses on it. The blog itself is in an online community that allows you to interact with other members of the Live Journal “club.” The site also offers many other interactive features such as a to do list and a calendar that may or may not be viewed by the public. You also have a main page that is within the live journal domain that introduces your profile to people (your interests, hobbies, birthday etc.) Live Journal is also completely interactive with your cell phone. The online phone and chat service called Skype also has a very similar type of journal entry feature attached it.
