I am not a DW person trying to kill LJ. I am a friend of calimac's to whom DW looked like it might be a reasonable alternative to LJ, whose commenting system is now presenting problems to him. As I understand it, data exchange between LJ and DW is easy and there are tools for posting easily to both platforms. That is the extent of my agenda.
My personal situation is this:
- I have an LJ account primarily so I can post comments on the journals of friends who require an LJ login. If you click my uid, you'll see the extent of my LJ. You could say that I have some concerns about LJ's current ownership, too.
- I have a DW account because of a personal interest in open source computing projects and it seemed like a reasonable project to support. (Same user ID, and if you check you will see that there is essentially nothing there.)
- My blog is 90% concerned with classical music and is located on Blogger because perhaps 2 of my LJ-using friends (calimac is one of them) gives a damn about the subject. (http://irontongue.blogspot.com)
