Question:

What's the difference between a blog and a journal?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

You can have an online journal! I don't think there is much of a difference. You can post your thoughts and ideas on both. However, a blog usually gives people more freedom to post what they want (a blank myspace page) whereas a journal is mainly used for posting what's on your miind aka just words.
