    Live journal/ blog

    what is the difference? My dictionary says that they r synonyms...what natives think about it?
    Придёт весна и мы раскроем окна..
    Айда на встречу друг другу!
    Придёт весна и яркое солнце
    Растопит лёд старых обид глупых.

    A blog is something more of a rant, like a lecture. Thing is, on places like Myspace and Myyearbook, they're used just like an LJ. A livejournal is basically just a journal you write in about thoughts feelings et cetera. Like a normal journal. I keep one myself. Two, rather.

    Also I think of livejournal being a kind of blog. That is blog is the more general term. All livejournals are blogs, but not all blogs are livejournals. It's kind of like Kleenexes -- LiveJournal has just kind of become the "brand name." Thus, all kleenexes are tissues, but not all tissues are Kleenexes. Does that make any sense?
    Заранее благодарю всех за исправление ошибок в моём русском.

    OK, thank you everyone!
    It's a bit strange, that Blog = web log ..b is the last letter in the word "web"

    I guess it just sounds a lot nicer than "Wog".
