Yeah, there have been lots, and one or two are still going, but none of them have eclipsed lj... I wish DW well, it sounds like it's based on good principles - just as Lj originally was... I definitely can't afford to pay for 2 sites though, and I do like the various paid for features, and find them reasonably priced on lj - and I don't see ads. And if I do work with a free lj, then I guess I'd figure I was getting it for free, so...

I just know that I'm rubbish enough at keeping up with lj and emails at the moment, I can't throw something else into the mix and hope to stay sane - I tend to think I should be spending less time on the gorgeous internet, so...

I can understand people who want to move to DW wanting to move completely too though - especially as I just said I didn't want to split my own lj-ing... I don't mind the extra click to get there and comment, but I don't think there's a way of getting notification that they've commented back, so... it'd mean checking in over and over again to find out if they ever do, and... just... But it's a shame... I liked the togetherness of the lj community...
