Which of your LJ friends are on DW?

[tobyaw]

I’ve written a web page that looks at your LJ friends list, and tells you which of the usernames exist as accounts on Dreamwidth. Of course having the same username doesn’t necessarily mean they are the same person, but it might give you a head start in populating your Dreamwidth friends list.

The implementation is naïve; there may be a more efficient way to see if a DW account exists. Source (and a command-line version) at http://github.com/filmgold/dw-tools

This is an awesome post for this community, absolutely stellar.

I've been dragging my feet on implementing my plans--I'm waiting for DW's version of fdata.bml to be implemented. There's a patch submitted for it, but it hasn't been accepted yet, and the bot domain will have to be set up as well.
