Blurty.com is an online journal site ... no, online community... on which you can write about your life and meet other people from all over the world.

The pro or con (depending on how you look at it), is its for over eighteens only. This is good for people wanting to interact with adults only. =)

Joining is simple. You need to go through the normal registration type process, then download a windows client where you can start writing in your journal.

The client lets you write your journal offline, if you wish, spellcheck then put it online at the click of a button, simple huh? But, if you dont want to download the client you can update from the web.

hmm what else? You can customise your journal to look how you want. It takes some practise to get it right but if you join one of the communities im sure some lovely person will help you out.

...Speaking of helping out, they have a system where you can ask a question and one of the members will answer you. So you get the help you need, and the other member gets points for helping you out. When you get used to using Blurty you too could help out other members and earn points. I like this idea, its a good way for people to get answers quite fast.

However along with all this good stuff are a few limitations. They are as follows:

Memory titles: 80 characters
Account / journal names: 50 characters
Keywords: 40 bytes
Custom Friends Group names: 30 characters
Usernames: 15 characters
Comments: 9000 bytes or 4300 characters
Entries 65535 bytes or characters
Entry subjects: 255 bytes or 100 characters
Properties (music/mood): 255 bytes, 100 characters.

Which is, in fact, plenty for me. =)

So there we go, worth a try out.
