Living Room / Re: OhLife - A new way to journal

I've been using OhLife for around two months now, just wanted to add my $.02
Things I would change?
1 -- The time the email is sent out. 8pm doesn't work for me, so I've taken the "shortcut" and changed my timezone so that I get the email around 6.15pm my time. I wish we could set our own times.
2 -- When I reply, by default my email is set to leave in the text of the email I'm replying to. OhLife doesn't take that into account, if I fail to delete the text, it shows up in the post I make. I'm thinking it wouldn't be too hard to code for that possibility.
Other than those caveats, I really do like the concept and prompting, and ease-of-use. As others have said, there's no way I'd put stuff that I wanted to remain private on there ... for that matter, I wouldn't put anything private *anywhere* on the internet unless strongly encrypted, and even then I'd have second (and third) thoughts about doing it.
