I liked GEnie a lot, too. The RT's were fun. Had my "own" topic, which was chatty enough.
Fast-forwarding to when personal websites started springing up, I thought blogs were fascinating, especially those that allowed commentary. Then the blog communities happened and I admit I intentionally stayed away for a while, content to update my own web-page of "latest news, etc." until I found I wasn't updating all that often.
So I jumped into lj with the nudging of various folks who know who they are. Glad I did. The best part is being able to read posts from work. Hee!
