I know I'm way late to this party, but I use Evernote for journals. I have a notebook called (strangely enough) “Journal” and each entry has a title like “Journal 20100310″ (year-month-day). Since I keep my iPhone on my nightstand while I sleep, it's very natural to use iPhone to write or update my journal each night before going to sleep. Of course, I can use the laptop paste stuff into it (including pictures) if I want. (Hint: drag-and-drop from iCal.)

Searchable, secure, convenient…what more could I ask?

This tool sounds interesting. However, in what ways is it better than blogging (you can choose to keep them private, too)?

Keeping a journal online (or at least on a computer) does make it A LOT easier to search. I've kept work notes in simple Word docs and a simple search for a keyword in a directory ALWAYS brings and answer quickly!

Google Docs is a good idea. I've used it for taken notes from phone call before.

Thanks to this article I signed up for Penzu! And I love it. I agree with Kenji, it's great having a journal that you can access from your computer anywhere, without having to carry around a journal as well.

Thanks for this! I've been looking for something like this. I had journaling software on my old computer which was excellent, but the moment I switched computers I got out of the habit of journaling. It's nice to have journal that I can access from anywhere.
