Well, I've taken the new DW payments system for a spin and it looks like it does what it says on the tin - yay! I'll be interested to see how the whole points thing gets used - I can imagine it being good for getting people to chip in for communities, or tip jars for popular accounts.

Am thinking about making this my primary base of operations for journalling for a little bit. I've picked out something I like for my style and updated my imports. Just need to figure out what I'm going to do about cross posting and updating the friends list and so on.

So, another LJ daughter-site is, well not born yet actually, but late enough on in it's gestation that they feel they can start telling people about it. I tend to be very skeptical of idealism in business ("Don't be evil" hasn't added up to much for Google in the long term, for example) but I actually know these people and, well, (a) they mean it (seriously, you should hear D talking about this - she is soooo excited) and (b) they're good at what they do. Really good. Of course, that's not very useful for everyone else, but yes, watching with a very great deal of interest.
