[We]blog is the generic term; Livejournal (www.livejournal.com) is a site
that hosts blogs, using its own engine. It's somewhat isolated from the
rest of the blogosphere, but saves you the bother of configuring your
own blog software on your own site; and it makes up for its isolation by
making it very easy to refer to other ljs (livejournals - i.e. the blogs
hosted on the site). It has a nifty feature called a friends list, which
lets you view a page of all the recent postings from your favourite ljs
(the friends list also helps you find other interesting blogs: many a
fascinating journal has been found by looking at friend's friends list,
or a friend's friend's friend list :)).
