LJ and DW and me

Well, it seems to have worked--I updated my Dreamwidth account with my old Livejournal entries. I haven't checked it out in detail but my archive goes back to 2003 in both places now.

From here on in I'm almost certain to just post the same thing to both places and read both sets of friends lists (or "reading pages" as DW calls it), so I figure I'll see the same thing twice a lot, which is fine. :) I also have no real preference as to where folks post their comments, whichever works best for you is fine.

I really don't want to leave Livejournal. I like it. It's comfortable. I have history there. I'm settled in there. But I don't want to lose touch with the folks who are leaving, which is why I started my Dreamwidth account. I'm certainly still open to adding folks on LJ.

I also like Dreamwidth. It's definitely got a different feeling to it, but that's cool. I am of course also open to adding folks on DW. :)

So in case you didn't know, yes I have a Dreamwidth. It's at:

And yes I have a Livejournal. It's at:

Now what?

I'm still not exactly sure what to do with my DreamWidth journal. So far (as with this entry) I've mostly been just writing the same thing both here and on Livejournal, but I imagine the novelty of that will fade soon enough.

The thing about that is, most of the folks I've added to Dreamwidth's Flist-equivalent are also on my LJ Flist, so I don't want to make people read the same damn thing twice. I know some folks are giving up LJ for DW, but a lot are using both. And to be honest, I just don't have enough to say to write new and clever things for two journals, you know?

Or maybe I'm worrying for nothing. I know that I don't mind seeing the same thing in two places (I just skim or skip it the second time I see it) so maybe others don't either?

In the mean time I suppose I will continue to double-post. Because I can.

Question: if something happens to a particular post on DreamWidth that I've double-posted to LJ, does that post disappear on LJ as well? I'm assuming not, but then the internet is a dark and mysterious place.
