Livejournal is down. Unlike the enemy's gate, this is not strategically helpful.

I don't really use dreamwidth, not because I don't like it. I actually love it - in concept, in execution, in name. (How wide are your dreams, huh?) But...very few people I want to watch are on it. Most of the communities I follow are on livejournal, most of the fics I want to read are on livejournal. In social networking sites, winning means you have the userbase.

Facebook, twitter and livejournal have the userbases.

But livejournal is down! Again. Try to load a page three or four times, and I'm going to pop over to this side to play. Put that on top of all the other problems I have with livejournal, and I decided to do some housekeeping. I friended a bunch of people I know on both sites (hi remuslives23!), even a few that aren't active.

Well, copperbadge is here, so I know that I'll be getting a few updates a day, at least. :D

I don't know if I'll set up cross-posting. On the one hand, I would like to, but I've been keeping my tags here pretty neat, and my livejournal ones are a mess. And livejournal has a bunch of useful smartphone apps, and dreamwidth doesn't. And I don't like my dreamwidth layout, but that is neither here nor there.

In all fairness, I'm only on dreamwidth because of a community - scans_daily. I followed the great migration, and I still follow it pretty regularly, but I'm definitely a lurker. And ironically I don't follow them in my dreamwidth reading page. I follow them on my RSS feed, because it makes it easier to keep track of what I've read.

I am going completely fucking nuts waiting for livejournal to come back, you can't even imagine.

I feel you. I am over here, almost completely, but the two fandoms I am most in are over there. So I haven't cut the ties.
