I Need Your Help
I have a Dreamwidth invite. Woo! Before I do anything with it, I have a question for you all. Given Dreamwidth is still small, I'm assuming I could just be Asta there. But, I'm Asta77 everywhere else. However, when people refer to me by name (so to speak) they use "Asta" and not "Asta77". So, I'm looking for help/advice on what I should do. For a nanosecond I thought about coming up with a new name, but I feel like I'm Asta at this point. ;)
What Should My Dreamwidth Name Be?
Asta
27(77.1%)
Asta77
8(22.9%)
It's going to be more of a pain in the ass for people crossposting mentioning you rather than you yourself, I think. But a lot of people are having slightly altered names now, losing names and underscores and such; Asta vs. Asta77 isn't that hard to remember.

Cross post mentioning could be an issue, but given how similar the names would be and that most people would know me starting out it's not a huge deal.
And Thanks! :)
Did you originally want just Asta? Or do you like sevens too? Make your name something you like!
ETA: Just read your comment above. Go with Asta! It's true, you won't be that hard to find there.

Ahem.
(Yes, probably I will get a dreamwidth too if everyone else does. It just causes me nervousness!)
One cool feature of Dreamwidth is that you can utilize Google Analytics which is helpful to anyone running a, let's say, fansite. ;) But the idea of moving the site kind of terrifies me.
Ideally, LJ and Dreamwidth will find a way to co-exist.
now GET OFF MY LAWN.
Personally, I'm torn over Dreamwidth. I want to run over and reserve my user name because I'm paranoid about loosing it. On the other hand I can't really wrap my head around moving to a different service - I guess I'm a bit of a old fogey in that once I put down roots I get all grumpy if I have to move ;)
There was a very interesting discussion going on at
I guess we'll see.
