I don't know. For me it's mostly the wording. I don't want a reading list. I want a FRIENDS list because that's what it is for me, if that makes sense. I don't friend people I'm not actually interested in befriending - I wouldn't friend an author whose fic I like but that I don't really have anything else in common with because I can get their fic elsewhere. I don't know, I don't know. It's all semantics, I know, but Lj just gives me a more homey/community feel. DW feels colder and less personal. It's probably just that it's new and different and I don't really feel settled in here yet.
