The Bottom Line
Basically, your own web site with options. Very neat way to stay in touch with family and friends and keep them updated on your journey. My only concern is that you might rely on this online journal's message boards to receive important messages and if you're in the wilds with no access to a computer and are relying on this diary's message boards to hear from your loved ones, you might miss an emergency message from home. Solve that with some other communication options.
Pros
- Free account option
- Log in worldwide
- Easy sign up and login
- Public and private message boards
- Upload photos
Cons
- You must have a laptop or find an internet cafe to use this diary
