Livejournal has now got its own IM server, running the Jabber protocol.

You can access it via Trillian or GAIM. I'm using Psi. Your username is your LJ username@livejournal.com and your password is your LJ password. All your mutual friends are automatically added to your friends list.

It's still in testing, so expect intermittent disconnections. Hopefully it'll get more reliable as time goes on...
