The longer I'm online, the more I want permanence and the less I feel that true permanence is really achievable. Of course, I've lived in two states and at least six different apartments/houses over the last fifteen years, and I've had a half-dozen different computers, so what is permanent, really?
I feel more optimistic about the OTW archive than I did in the beginning; it really struck me as one of those flash-in-the-pan projects that gets dropped when the principles move to other things, but I have been really impressed with the commitment and dedication that the developers have shown, and I like the interface -- I'm thinking about getting an account now when they're out of beta.
In the beginning, at least, I expect I'll probably treat DW similar to how I currently treat IJ -- I'll have a placeholder account for flist management and commenting, and other than that, I'll probably just follow the herd (moooo). I don't have any particular emotional investment in LJ other than having been here for several years and being comfortable with it (and used to all its quirky little ins and outs; I even find myself typing LJ code in my HTML by accident).
