Features
Open Diary allows users to create diaries that are public, private, or friends-only. Within a diary, individual entries can also be public, private, or friends-only, if the level of overall diary privacy allows it. Users can post an unlimited number of entries in their diaries.
Diary entries on the site accept user comments, which can be linked back to the noter's diary. Notes left on diaries can be public or private (only visible to the entry author), and diaries can be set to accept anonymous notes from people outside of Open Diary, or from members only.
The Diary Circles feature provides a place where diary entries of a similar nature can be posted together. These circles are linked to the Open Diary Boards, a message board component that was added to the site on April 27, 2006.
Entries recommended by Open Diary users are listed on the Reader's Choice page. Users can create a "favorites" list bookmarking other diaries of interest. They can add a list of "interests" to their profile, and search for diarists who have expressed interest in a particular topic.
Open Diary also provides a free email service, which is not limited to Open Diary members.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
