Dreamwidth has implemented a new feature in beta form: text search for paid users. From my understanding, you can't search private journals that don't belong to you, but you can search your own journal and communities. And things posted/edited in the last 24 hours won't come up. Still, very cool.

I have two invite codes, first come, first served. Reply with your e-mail if you want one, comments are screened.

I have five DW invite codes, which will go to the first five people who request them. Comment here to request them. Comments are screened.

For those of you who have just gotten accounts: http://zvi.dreamwidth.org/503716.html (Yeah, I know, it was written for closed beta. It's still got some good information in it.) Also, the official communities for news and stuff are both more interesting and more informative than the LJ versions.

ETA: all used.

For those of you who don't have accounts and want them, you can purchase them now in the Dreamwidth Shop. A $3 payment will get you one month of paid time that will revert to a free account when that month is up. (You can, of course, pay more for a longer paid account time if you wish.) Or you can register an OpenID at Dreamwidth and validate your e-mail quickly, so that when they get around to giving invite codes to all the OpenIDs with valid e-mail addresses (which should happen in the next day or two) you'll get one. Or you can wait until people start announcing they have invite codes, and ask someone for one.

To expand their closed beta and check server load and things, Dreamwidth is handing out random invite codes to various people--I got one because I used OpenID to comment on something. I'm waiting to import my journal for a few weeks, until they get a few more of the kinks out of the import system (and they are fixing bugs at an amazing rate over there), but once I've done that I plan to make DW my primary fandom journal home. Don't worry, I'll still be here too--that's not changing in the forseeable future, and probably won't unless fandom on LJ has a complete and total meltdown. If you're on DW too, let me know--my username is the same both places.
