I certainly find Dreamwidth vastly easier to use than Facebook, but I can see one reason why it is an extra challenge to people who aren't used to a blogging-heavy social network. It suits longer, more involved posts, and I think a lot of people lack the confidence to believe that they have anything worth saying in this sort of setup - whereas a single line Facebook post is less... intimidating, possibly?

This is certainly one of the barriers to entry that I experience. I'm rather used to the whole LJ and DW style of how things work. And yet I still can't find a way of writing posts that works for me.

Words are a constant struggle, for me. It's... part of it is that it feels like I'm thinking and writing in two different languages, but there's... something more... something that I can't quite words...

I do wonder if this is part of what makes Tumblr so popular, even though I understand the whole... flow of Tumblr less than I do of Facebook, and I haven't used Facebook in a couple of years, now.
