Dreamwidth

[unixronin]

I have received seven er, actually, a total of fourteen additional invite codes for Dreamwidth.  If you want to try out Dreamwidth, let me know in a comment and I'll send you an invite code.  If you want me to use a different address than your LiveJournal address, you'll need to tell me in your comment.

Why should you use Dreamwidth?  Well, let me start you off with three reasons:

• It's a backup in case LiveJournal completely implodes, and you can still automatically crosspost everything you post there to your LiveJournal (and other sites you may have blogs on, for that matter) if you want to;
• Dreamwidth has a commitment to privacy that LiveJournal has never had, and has pledged to never ever sell user data (and, if memory serves, to never put advertising on user journals);
• Dreamwidth has a better security model than LiveJournal; you can subscribe to someone else's journal to read their posts on your reading page, without having to grant them access to your restricted posts to do so.

There's other reasons I could cite, but those'll do for a start.

Sounds good to me. I like the idea of better control of security.
