More technological happiness: Dreamwidth

[metawidget]

I renewed my Dreamwidth subscription not too long ago. Here are some reasons why:

• Poll answers display percentages for ticky boxes in a way that doesn't make me want to cry. People should be response units, not boxes ticked!


• Code tours: I may not understand everything, but they are fun to read.


• Sensible and easy cross-posting to my now-basic Livejournal account, 'cause I still like all you non-migrant friends.


• They generally seem to care about accessibility, standards and all that good stuff.


• I haven't noticed a spam problem. Sure, this might be just a small target thing like Apple at 3% market share had, but it's nice however it happened.


• Cut expansion in place: works just like drilling down folders or getting extra settings in a dialog box, and keeps the number of tabs down in my browser.


• Probably not evil.


• No ads, and an explicitly-stated business plan for not having ads.
