up early, maybe it shows

Hmm, dreamchasers is getting kind of high traffic. It would be cool if another comm for announcing communities (not personal journals) was created, so that those interested in comms could just subscribe to that.

Anyway I guess I'm only looking for my friends, but there are only 100 of them, whereas potentially thousands of DW users.... If all of them post to the same comm (or even a thousand) to announce their new journal, things are going to get very high traffic. Maybe there should be an alternate way for those who wish to be found on DW to enter in their usernames? On other websites, it's done with email addresses, but this has caused some problems on LJ. Maybe someone could make another website where we can login using our LJ openIDs to be added to a database, and then add in our new DW username, and it would automatically show who else on our LJ flist was in the system?

Random notes

1. I'm using google analytics on one of my other sites and whoa... I have to say it's really professional, BUT this makes it darn confusing to the average user who isn't attempting to run a full fledged internet business. I don't understand half of the things going on in here. But the worst thing is, they don't have full URL referral out of the box! >:O You have to go through all of these shenanigans in order to do it.

Statcounter I find much easier to use. It's also much less powerful, but it gets me what I want (referrers).

I hope they do adopt measures to prettify DW. I was using Tumblr, and despite the fact that in some ways it is less powerful than LJ (no native commenting, no granular privacy), it does have a really nice interface that I find fairly intuitive. It's all about the rounded corners, maybe. XD
