Somehow we'll make it, 'cause that's what we do

So, DW open beta date has been announced! 30 April, 2009. Yes, it's really really happening - those crazy kids :)

As soon as things actually go live, I'm planning to move my journal over there permanently. I'll probably cross-post back to here but close comments so that they all stay in one place. I'd really like to do a poll, but as I am only a lowly free account here, no such luck :( I would appreciate knowing though...

[ ] I'm planning to move over to Dreamwidth and I'll be paying money for an account.
[ ] I'm planning to move over to Dreamwidth if I can get my hands on an invite code (hint hint :D).
[ ] I've no plans to move, but I'll come comment on your entries over there.
[ ] I've no plans to move and won't comment if I can't do it on LJ.
[ ] Err, I forgot what Dreamwidth is again... remind me?

I myself am hoping to buy a seed account so once things kick off, I should have plenty of coedz to go around...

Yeah, I'm definitely too fandom-young to have experience of that. On the other hand, my previous experience of D. does give me enormous confidence in her ability and willingness to say "No, just deal, you people."

It's an interesting point - one of the reasons I'm not a very good advocate for DW is that part of my faith in it is based on the fact that I know D IRL and based on our conversations, I actually think she can pull this off. That's not very communicatable though, and I suspect that if I *didn't* have that experience, I might well be more inclined to the wait and see approach. I suppose on the other hand though, if all the moderate sensible people do that, then it makes it harder to get things started so there'd be that to argue towards giving it a go.

I'll be cross posting here anyway so the post was more just a curiosity thing but your comment thread with D got me thinking about it again :)

I certainly hope for the best for (and from) Dreamwidth. Fortunately no one is looking to me to be the trendsetter on moving or not moving, so I have the luxury of waiting to see what happens.
