3W4DW Meme
Apr. 26th, 2011 10:59 amI know there's been a lot of meme content here lately, but I don't have the juice for anything creative and there are some interesting questions here, and it's all about online life, which seems perfect for 3W4DW.
(For those readers that haven't seen it elsewhere: 3W4DW is Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, a three-week fest celebrating the anniversary of DW's open beta, aimed at stimulating content and community here on Dreamwidth; during the fest, a lot of posters do something special, and we generally avoid crossposting our 3W4DW content to anywhere else.)
1. Why did you sign up for Dreamwidth?
I've always been an earlyish adopter of social media, even back before that meant something specific. When I heard about a new journalling service, I was interested, and then somehow I failed to hear anything more about it until a month or so before open beta. A kind friend gave me an invite, and it coincided with increasing frustration about the changes happening at LJ. I was so impressed with the featureset at DW, the plans for future development, and their transparency and responsiveness to user concerns and requests.
The only reason I still do anything at LJ is that there are people there I'm not ready to say goodbye to.
2. Why did you choose your journal name?
3. Do you crosspost? Why or why not?
4. What do you do online when you're not on DW?
5. How about when you're not on the computer?
6. What do you wish people who read your journal knew about you?
7. What is your favorite community on Dreamwidth?
8. What community do you wish was more active?
9. Are there two people on your reading list that you think should meet?
10. Tell me about your default icon.
11. What features do you think Dreamwidth should have that it doesn't currently?
12. What do you consider the five most "telling" interests from the list on your profile? Why?
13. Do you have any unique interests on your user profile? What are they? How'd they get there?
14. Did you have a gateway fandom? Still in it? Why or why not? Is there a community for it on DW?
15. What's your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination?
16. What are you glad you did but haven't really had a chance to post about?
17. How many people on your reading list do you know IRL?
18. What don't you talk about here, either because it's too personal or because you don't have the energy?
19. Any questions from the audience?
20. Yes, but what are your thoughts on yaoi?
21. What's your favorite thing about Dreamwidth?
