We are releasing the first stage of a new in-browser messaging feature today. It will be announced in news at a later date.

LiveJournal Messenger

This is a web-based messaging service in partnership with Windows Live ID. You'll be able to add contacts and chat with friends while on the LiveJournal site. Here is how to use it:

  • Use your existing Windows LiveID or sign up for one using your LiveJournal username
  • Enable LiveJournal Messenger in the Extensions tab on the Account Settings page
  • You will receive a confirmation email and will then be able to use your LiveJournal Messenger account
  • LiveJournal Messenger will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen
  • Add contacts using their existing Live ID handle or their LiveJournal Messenger name (username@livejournal.com)
  • Your friends will be sent a notice, then will appear in your "Contacts" list once they have confirmed

Known Issues:
  • This feature is not supported in Opera
  • Some site copy needs updating
