Dreamwidth Open Beta!

keilexandraDreamwidth is now officially in open beta. I have 5 4 3 2 invite codes to give out, so if anyone is still seeking one, comment here and ask nicely.
A Guide to Dreamwidth for LiveJournal Users
Ethos and Ideas
At this point, I am seriously considering a permanent move to Dreamwidth after it exits open beta (assuming that I can also import back here if disaster occurs?). Yay early adoption. I'm kind of nervous, actually, because usually I am not an early adopter--but DW is too promising to pass up. If/when I jump ship, I will cross-post to LJ with comments turned off. If you really hate logging into other sites, you can PM or email me if you're friended (and if you're not, sorry, I don't much care if you decide to withhold comments).
What makes DW different (for me)
* Separate flock and reading lists. Less fiddling with filters!
* Ad-free even when I'm not in Firefox with AdBlock Plus.
* A commitment to sustainable growth and development, as well as remaining ad-free to avoid undue financial pressure from advertisers.

afuna ;)
* Not entirely sure about this one, but ability to read LJ-locked posts on my DW page? Yes/no? This would be really nifty; otherwise I will set up an LJ filter of friends I still want to read. I actually prefer the RSS style of blog-reading to the LJ one-page style, because of easy prioritization without forgetting about the lower-priority stuff; RSS means giving up flocked posts, though, and the personal aspect is why I'm still here.
