Site tour

So, [personal profile] sophie and I are sitting down to work out what the site tour should consist of (bug 209) and I thought I'd open it up to [site community profile] dw_docs -- what kind of things do you think should be highlighted in the tour?

This should not be a "what's different from LJ" -- it should be a feature-based "what makes us a good place to be". (We'll do a "switching from LJ or other LJ-based site" Guide, as well as a "switching from Wordpress", from TypePad, etc, etc, all as separate documentation.) It can reference our ideological differences, but for this part of it I want to concentrate on features.

Also from the not-Facebook/not-Wordpress side of the spectrum:

Simplicity. You don't have to keep up with a zillion widgets or applications or other ways to interact with your friends and groups/communities. Everything slots nicely to your reading page. (Though different methods, like reading top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top, might be worth a mention.)
