Real Lives on the Internet - OpenDiary.com Hosts 120,000 Online Diaries

SOMERVILLE, NJ -- TV shows like Survivor" and Big Brother" have shown that people are fascinated with reality-based programming, following the real-life experiences of regular people. Thousands of personal webcam sites have also sprung up, bringing the real-life experience to the Internet. But theres a problem with TV and webcams -- they only show the viewer what people are doing, not what they are thinking and feeling.

For a truly deep look into the lives of real people, theres nothing like reading their diary. A diary provides a record of a persons thoughts and feelings, joys and sorrows - recorded over days and months and years.

Diary keepers have found a new way to express themselves, by bringing their journals to the Internet. As a result, the online diary has become something more -- no longer the little book locked in a dresser drawer, an online diary offers the author a place to share his or her most private thoughts and feelings with the world.
