Launch: Archives The new kids on the block. By Damiana (damiana@diarist.net)

Archives Past Launch sites. Submit Get Launched!   Roughly four years ago, the first online journals crawled out of the sea. These were shocking things, these chronicles of lives, these barings of innermost thoughts and feelings right there on the Internet. Putting your private life online? Absurd! That was a long time ago. Now opinions are changing. It seems nowadays that a homepage without a journal is unheard of. The largest journal webring boasts upwards of five hundred members, and the numbers are growing every day. With the constant outpour of new journals, readers are finding it increasingly harder to wade through these emerging life stories. Launch serves to spotlight these journals, the new or relatively unknown. Oftentimes, a quality journal gets overlooked in the tangle of the more established. Here, the "underdog" has a venue. Each week, two to three journals will be presented and given the opportunity to gain new readers into their lives.   Archives: 05/01/2000 - 05/31/2000 06/01/2000 - 06/30/2000 07/01/2000 - 07/31/2000 08/01/2000 - 08/31/2000 09/01/2000 - 09/30/2000 10/01/2000 - 10/31/2000 11/01/2000 - 11/30/2000 12/01/2000 - 12/31/2000 01/01/2001 - 01/31/2001 02/01/2001 - 02/28/2001 06/01/2001 - 06/30/2001 For Launch columns published before May 2000, please see the static archive index.
