I woke up this morning to a Dreamwidth email, and here I am!

silly question... what is so different about this LJ clone, if anything? Or do people just want one?

I am not really the most qualified person to answer this (pellucid has been making a lot of posts with links and such if you want to click around for a while), but basically my understanding is this: Dreamwidth is made by people who jumped ship when LJ was sold to SUP, and they are hoping to avoid things like ads forever, as well as being more...open? Or something? As I said, fuzzy on the details. :)

very nice site. Once it goes public I may have to pop over and get one.

ETA: All set with invites...I'll just make this a "yay, happy for you" comment. :D

I recommend this post as a Dreamwidth overview. I also wrote a bit more about it here, and would further recommend siljamus on the subject here. :)

ah, cool. Thanks, maybe I'll get one eventually. :)

Yeah, I don't have that kind of power yet anyway. :)

I am not sure it's going to take off, but I lucked into an account, so that's exciting!
