Is there something I'm missing that differentiates LJ from the other blog systems?

It seems intuitive and clean. Certainly simpler than MySpace. So far I have no complaints. I'm not convinced that I'll actually use this as a proper blog though. It would be pretty redundant to have two blogs.

I am trying to think of what purpose I can dedicate this blog towards. Work? University? Both?

Wait, I just thought of something neat in LJ. The way people's names become links. How is that done... Is it automatic? Let's see.

Well I suppose I'll find out after I publish this.

EDIT: Ok, so it requires some extra tag to enable those friend links. Not bad. I would've preferred something like double hashes or quotes and a hash.
