LiveJournal was listed amont the "Family Journal Hosts" in an article about "Online Family Journals" in the June 2002 issue of the magazine Personal Journaling.
Unfortunately, the article itself used MyFamily.com to discuss the merits of a password-protected family journaling site, then turned to a site administrator's control over the "team" feature of Blogger.com to talk about shared journals, while a whole separate break-out box addressed electronic family newsletters handled by mailing list providers. Nice to see LiveJournal's name in the list, but would've been nicer if they'd given us a bit more direct credit for having multiple security level control, communities for shared journaling, and numerous other features that make LiveJournal the best place to come for anyone really wanting a family journal.
