Justin's site was originally a guide to his favorite content on the web. Since he saw that the web was already exploding with sites about his favorite music or literature, when he created his own content he looked to his own history and life. While the diaries are generally crude and amusing, the web has moved beyond that. The first problem is they have none of Justin's sense of humor. Everyone has feelings, everyone has intense emotional experiences.
Humanity is connected by something greater than transient emotional states.
When I see these sites, I wish all the energy was going towards the big picture, rather than the navel. This relates to the rest of the web. In '95, everything was ugly and design was not really the point. This experience has given a self-esteem boost to the many people who consider themselves artists, but have never created anything. I've never been an artist, even when I've turned off my Pentium II and warmed up my PowerPC crash box.
