Diary-X
Defunct diary website (2000–2006)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diary-X (commonly abbreviated dx) was an online diary website which allowed users to create and maintain a personal journal.
Overview
It was launched in 2000, and between half and three-quarters of its users were 14–19 years old.[1] Basic use was free, though for a small fee users could email their entries.[2] The creator and webmaster was Stephen Deken.
It had about 120,000 diaries.[3] In early 2006, the server's hard drive failed, and since there was no backup, the entire website and all users' diaries were lost irretrievably.[4]
Contemporary blogging and diary hosting websites included Blogger, LiveJournal, and Diaryland.[5]
