It's intended to be a more fandom-friendly, less corporatized version of LJ - like LJ used to be in the olden days, allegedly, but with various improvements/changes to the structure, like giving you greater control over who is allowed to read your posts vs. whose posts you want to read (you have a 'Circle' instead of a 'Friends List'). It's supposed to be compatible with LJ, so if you have an OpenID you can comment in both places, import your journal, things like that.
Right now it seems like people I know who have accounts there are still cross-posting everything to LJ, so... enh. I am also somewhat dubious just because every other LJ-clone (GJ, IJ, DJ) has eventually foundered and/or died entirely under the weight of their users. It's funny how you seem to need money to keep a service running!
