First Dreamwidth Post
Apr. 20th, 2009 07:39 pmOMG yay! I have an account here! Thank you so much to ![[staff profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_staff.png)
denise for sending me an invite code; even though it was probably part of a mass-action, I don't care, I've been waiting for this for awhile :-)
In case you're reading this on LJ and haven't heard of Dreamwidth, it's basically a new project that's attempting to be what LJ used to be, and it seems to be doing an awesome job of it. For more information, go here.
The site is still in beta, but it's moving along nicely, and I'm very pleased to be part of it. I'm looking forward to what comes out of it.
If you're reading this on LJ, my Dreamwidth username is Softpaw (hah, I got it first), if you want to find me on there.
Am I planning to jump away from LJ? Not immediately. But, LJ has moved in a direction that I'm no longer comfortable supporting (which is why I haven't had a paid account in over a year now), and Dreamwidth is a project I feel very strongly about. It's what LJ used to be for me. So, I really couldn't care less about the future of LJ, I don't consider it worth supporting anymore. At the same time, I have a LOT of friends on LJ, many of whom won't move to a new site. I do suggest that y'all approach it with an open mind when it opens, though. It has tools to import your old entries, and an option to cross-post to other sites (including LJ), so it's very easy for LJ users to ease into :-)
Anyway, that's my fun for this evening.
