- I can talk to people on gmail/gtalk without having a gmail account: I add
user@gmail.com
to my buddylist. - Since LJ's jabber server automatically treats mutual-friend links between your LJ accounts as approved buddy links between your jabber accounts, it adds a "who's online" feature to LJ for mutual friends.
- You can now chat with LJ users as soon as you mutually friend them without having to find some other way to traid AIM names first, via comments or email.
P.S. Massachusetts people: Deval Patrick rally tomorrow on the Common, 2:30pm.
Also, The Nields at the Iron Horse in Northampton this evening (comment/email if you're going?)
