Brad Whitaker, LiveJournal.com & Frank Precissi, DeadJournal.com discussed conceptually what livejournal was (in comparison to blogging). Journaling is more of a diary for you and your network of friends, where as blogging is something that tends to get published for a general audiance.
Livejournal has 7 million users and about 5000 hits per second at peak time. Holy moly. (Deadjournal has about 500,000 users but its because they don't want to deal with having 100s of service and that bandwidth and so forth).
