This is a good question with all the groups on facebook. But the answer is that this is a travel dedicated website with the social networking features you know from facebook built in.

You can share as you do in facebook, your links to your own interests and make new friends. Its a great place to get to know people travelling in the same places so you can perhaps hook up on that lonely road.

If you are writing a diary of your travels I advise you to keep a blog of the less personal highlights on YOUR OWN website. Then link to it from various resources such as in here.

Just join have fun take what you want and give back when you can
