Clearly the software used is Livejournal's open source code. But what will make Dreamwidth different from Livejournal content-wise, and participant-wise? Given how humans generally seem to behave on social sites like this, is it possible for this to become anything other than an LJ knockoff?<br /><br />What steps do you think they could take to drive the mission and turn this into a somehow different experience?<br /><br />These are all just rhetorical questions, of course, since you're the only one looking, used_songs. :) I've been poking around on here a bit but haven't figured out the why of it yet. <br /><br />Perhaps I'll just use it as a chance to exhibit a different side of myself, with different friends and communities and interests. Or perhaps as a boring, just-for-myself log of daily activities such as calorie counts or miles walked. Dream journal? No, that has to happen on paper near the bed, unfortunately. <br /><br />Or maybe it too will just drift into the hazy past, like InsaneJournal, which I never looked at a second time.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=robynebr&ditemid=284" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
