DMM offers a compact platform to blog your day-to-day thoughts and activities. You can record them under any of ten categories covering around 95% of daily existence of a person. These include an other category for subjects not covered in the other nine.
The most significant difference is that you blog within certain categories. The posts thus acquire a particular meaning, not just any thought without any context. For example, you want to express something that made you happy. If you Blog under Happiness, you will always be able to go back to it by looking up that category. You do not have to search all your posts to find what you want; you will instinctively know where to look.

- IMeMyself & Reflections
