I'm amused

By the jump in Dreamwidth signups over the last couple of days.

(Its the "newbyday" stat, about 40% of the way down the page)

Wonder if anyone's pointed out those figures to the LJ admins and let them put 2 and 2 together...? :)

That includes OpenIDs, so if I import my LJ to DW and 100 previously unseen (by DW) LJs have made comments (or are on my friendslist), that adds 101 to the stats, not just 1.

Even so, it's quite impressive.

Is what I was going to say.

But yeah, scary jump in numbers. And D's going tos ee if they can separate OpenID accounts out from those stats at some point, she can do it manually, it's about 2/3rds OpenID.

[matgb]

OH, Lj has the same stats page, and gets roughly that number every day.

That won't include OpenIDs, but probably will include spammers :-(

Heh. That was clearly down to me jumping ship in response and gently nudging my FL to do the same, cos, you know, I'm a pretty influential person and tens of thousands hang on my every word :-)
