I find it very surprising when I hear about people from Twitter moving to Dreamwidth. It's nice to have more people around, but they're very different sites! Microblogging vs longform journaling; a lot of text on both, but very different.

I think of Dreamwidth as falling into the "personal diary site" niche. Open Diary -> Livejournal -> Dreamwidth was a natural progression for me, from one diary site to another.

I know a lot of people used LJ/DW for fandom, but to this day I still don't think of either of them that way - or at least not primarily.
