Dreamwidth?

[norwich36]

So I've been playing around with the idea of buying a seed account at Dreamwidth when they go up for sale on April 30, since apparently this is the only time ever they will be selling permanent accounts, but the fact that only a few people on my f-list seem to even know about the project makes me question whether it's worth shelling out that much money. So: a poll.


[Poll #1375329]

For those of you who checked the last radio button, here are some good resources to read about the project:
Links to a bunch of posts explaining why this project was undertaken--see especially this one , in which synechdochic explains why she undertook this project; Dreamwidth's wiki page; a post explaining how Dreamwidth is different than other fan-run journaling sites ; a post by cathexys about why dreamwidth is right for her ; and a post by zvi_likes_tv about getting started on Dreamwidth , for those lucky enough to have closed beta accounts.

I'm really surprised I haven't seen it mentioned more often on my f-list, actually. One of the people behind it is a fan who also was an LJ employee, so she has an lot of experience with what users actually want out of the service, which is a good sign, for me. And if you have the free time to read through some of those links, it seems to me they have a very well thought-out philosophy and business plan. I'm definitely supporting the site, even if I don't really migrate over there--it's hard for me to imagine fully migrating unless all my friends come too.
