Livejournal, Dreamwidth, and me and you and everyone we know.

I know many flisters are burned out with posts about DW--sorry.

I am tzikeh at Dreamwidth. I'm still figuring it all out, but I will most likely continue to make my posts at dreamwidth and x-post them to lj. The reason I've chosen the option to collect comments only at dw is that it's easier for me and for commenters to have them all in one place, especially when good discussions break out. Having two discrete threads means that some people will miss other people's comments or questions, I'll be back and forth, etc. I'm know that some of you don't like having to use OpenID to comment (or just won't at all). I understand your point of view, and I'm bummed, but I think, ultimately, this is going to work best for me in the long run.

Everything I post will be cross-posted to lj. And I still read my lj flist multiple times a day every day. (Er, if "constantly refreshing" counts as multiple times a day. *g*) If you are not moving to dw, and are on my flist, I am still reading your lj, and commenting.

One thing that concerns me is the people who are reading me on their dw circle and have defriended me at lj because they'll be seeing duplicate posts. If you've defriended me at lj, I can't read any locked posts you make when I read my flist. I know this is all still shaking out, and will be for a while, but I wanted to put that out there.

Now, for my two quick dw points of order:

1) If you are on dw, please comment with your dw name, even if you think I know it. Some of you are using different names on dw than you use on lj, and I haven't sorted out who's who yet. If you don't feel comfortable leaving your info in comments, please email me at tzikeh@thechicagoloop.net

2) I have five dw invites! (Yeah, yeah, so do you *g*). First five requests to tzikeh@thechicagoloop.net get 'em.

In conclusion: OMG-1701!
