New features added in 2006:
- LJ's Notifications System lets you keep track of changes to journals and communities you care about - just look for the
icon. You can set up subscriptions and read new notifications in your Message Center. - LJ Talk, LiveJournal's Jabber-based instant messaging service which included a client created by Gizmo Project.
- TxtLJ, sponsored by Amp'd Mobile, allows you to send and receive text messages to post to your journal, add a friend and more.
- Video embedding from Google, YouTube, Photobucket, ifilm.com, Sonific.com, and Singshot.com
- Userpic Factory creates 100x100 pixel userpics out of standard sized photos. It lets you easily crop and zoom in on the part of the photo you want for your userpic.
- Tons of new themes -- We added themes from the Style Contest and from our neighbors at Vox. Find them in the Customize menu under Mixit, Expressive and Style Contest.
- Navigation strip -- This customizable strip borders at the top of the screen and offers handy links to navigate through LJ while you're reading journals and communities.
- Nudge lets you tell a mutual friend that you miss hearing from them and want them to update their journal.
- Contextual hover menus -- Just hover over a userpic or userhead icon and get options to visit the person's journal or profile page or to add them as a friend.
- FRNK Radio -- A stream of all the latest public voice posts. All goats all the time, without any annoying sheep.
