I love the new journal feature, but I think for someone like me (freelance developer who works with others regularly) it won’t be useful until I can share my journal with other people.

I have my own Backpack account, and I work regularly with other people who have their own accounts. We each have private pages and stuff, and we share pages with each other too. It would be nice (especially near the end of projects when we’re all working on bugfixes, etc) to be able to “subscribe” to their journals as if we’re all on the same account.

I agree with Garrett. It would be great if I can share my Journal with others just like any other Backpack page.

I agree very much – but not just within Backpack. I’d love to be able to share my journal entries, and current status, as separate feeds to the outside internet environ. This would be great for feed-based web-mashups (for instance, to pipe status updates from Backpack into a Twitter account).

I agree too – would find this incredibly useful.
