LiveJournal vs Dreamwidth vs Google Plus - go!

I wish more people used Dreamwidth, but meantime I'm happy to use it as a staging ground for LJ. And they both have pseudonyms, support long-form blogging well, have threaded comments, and allow variable privacy.

G+ was a great idea spoiled by two things (for me):
1) I can't automatically crosspost. And I'm not about to start manually doing so, because that's extra effort to support something with very few users (comparatively).
2) They pissed off a lot of people with (a) making it mandatory and (b) the naming thing, which means it has a much lower number of users than it would otherwise have.

Oh, also, G+ isn't an LJ alternative, to me. It's a FB/Twitter alternative.

That's the third of its problems for me!
