Testing via ljtalk
Wow, LJ Talk is pretty well done. Sign in with a Jabber client, and there’s your mutual friends, all in their own group on your roster, with userpics and everything. And there’s a goat bot that you can post through, too — send it a message (like I’m doing right now) and it makes its […]
