Freejournal
Seems purely promotional to me; no attempt to establish what makes this site different from LiveJournal, MySpace et al. Daniel Case 05:00, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, I put on the AfD tag and saw you had already created this. :) User only edited pages to advertise freejournal. gren グレン 05:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

It is an example of a site using the Drupal open source CMS, much like the Kerneltrap article. Seems to me if one is allowed, both should be. Lunas11
 * Not sure - For a brief moment I thought that this was the new name of Open Diary, which is certainly very notable. They have locked out attempts to look at their user numbers, so I have no way to verify their popularity and number of unique accounts (I am assuming that the magical number of 5,000 applies for journal sites just as it does to web forums).  I am going to wait to see if someone can validate their member list before voting. Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 14:34, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll just note one potential claim of notoriety - they are free because they make money from advertising, using Google's AdSense. AFAIK no other online diary site does this.  Its a kind of unique way to do it.  But Daniel Brandt certainly wouldn't approve :) Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 14:36, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
