A place to vent

Advantages: Easy to use, some thought provoking reading, you get feedback on your thoughts, flexible
Disadvantages: Some really awful diarists, adverts on free diaries, only one downloadable entry editor available, poor help section.

...Oddly, keeping a diary at opendiary.com cuts out the "middleman", and your diary is automatically public (there are privacy settings if you need them). I thought I'd never like it or never take to it, but I gave it a go anyway. Several years and nearly 600 diary entries later, I'm still there. Keeping a public diary may seem a little uncomfortable at first, but it's actually quite emotionally "freeing" (for want of a better word). People are able ...
...make. It's so good to have a note from someone that says "Hey, like your diary, I understand how you feel". Opendiary - the basics ------------------------------- When you initially sign up with Opendiary, you'll be asked if you want to join the free site (with adverts) or the paid site (no adverts and extra features). The free site has less functionality than the paid site (differences listed later) and it has adverts, which can be a bit of a ...

My place of internet escape

Advantages: Easier than putting pen to paper
Disadvantages: Sometimes temperamental

Most years when i was younger, i would receive a diary for Christmas from a member of my family, usually my Nan. Every year i would be so excited about starting writing in my new diary, i would fill in all of the personal information pages, fill in a few names and numbers in the telephone numbers section, etc etc. The diary would always go really well, up until around mid February, when i would completely lose interest, and it would be left in a ...
...EVERY year without fail. I still look back at some of those old diaries and think to myself 'I wish i'd carried on with that.' Fast forward to 2002. I had my sisters old computer off her, and had Broadband installed in my bedroom. I stumbled across www.freeopendiary.com as it was called then, i'm not sure how i stumbled across it but i did. I signed up, opened a diary, and dipped my toe gently into the big ocean of online diaries, and the rest is ...

Opendiary - Your password protected diary!

Advantages: Can be private or public, good for unbiased opinions, free, can be good stress relief
Disadvantages: You do get the odd attention seeker once in a blue moon.

Opendiary.com is an online community for people to create their own personal diary to be kept either private or public. It is free to sign up to the basic account which attracts people from all over the world. So why put your diary publicly so everyone can read it? Firstly, you dont have to put any details about yourself. You dont have to say who you are, where you are from or even have a picture. You can choose to do this at your own discretion. ...
...you go however I'm sure. So opendiary.com is a great way of expressing what you're thinking and feeling. Best of all, if you want it just for yourself then you can set it to private so only you can read it. I really do reccommend checking it out. ...

My sanity thoughts feelings revealed here

Advantages: Place of Refuge
Disadvantages: When it doesnt work

This is my second attempt at writing this opinion, the first one was lost by ciao when I submitted it, they asked me to sign in again and my entry disappeared and I couldn’t find it so im not happy about it. Especially when it took me an hour to write it. This is my place of refuge when times are hard, when I need advice, when I need someone to share their feelings with me, when im down, depressed and feeling unloved, when I want someone’s ...

all in all, it's okay.

Advantages: easy to use, great reading, lots of great people.
Disadvantages: customer support is poor, site administrators dishonest, site tempermental.

having been a member of OD for five + years, my experience is that opendiary is a great source of friendship and interesting information and reading, as well as a good place to keep your daily thoughts and ideas. some warnings, of course, come with this opinion. first, ALWAYS back up your diary, at least once a month. more if you can. the site has been known to be unreliable in that respect, and twice now, information has been lost, and the servers ...
...entries. the first time, about a year and a half ago, (possibly closer to two years) resulted in people losing entire journals - some of them housing thousands of entries. the second time, the administrators had been telling us that it would never happen again, that the site was entirely secure, and someone hacked into the system. to this day, the entries lost at that time have not been restored, and the information is lost. lesson learned: ALWAYS ...
