Welcome LiveJournal (LJ Talk) users!
We’re thrilled to open up ZapTXT support for LJ Talk.
LiveJournal represents a solid illustration of how Social Networks can actually drive usage by leveraging open technologies. Unlike some of the closed networks, LJ users can now use LJ talk to participate in a community, chat with friends outside their LJ experience, as well as access other services such as ZapTXT that they otherwise had to use via an additional IM client. That leads to more LJ usage as opposed to what many closed networks m ight think.
For those of you that are existing ZapTXT users and plan to use LJ Talk as your Instant Messenger Client, follow these 2 steps:
1. Log into ZapTXT and under settings, select LJ Talk as your IM client as seen in the screen shot below
2. Once you’ve updated your settings, simply add ZapTXT as a friend in LiveJournal and ZapTXT will show up in your buddy list.
Now, all your ZapTXT Alerts that you elect to receive via IM will show up within LJ.
Here’s a sample….
I have a ZapTask for Mashable. Here’s what my alert looked like on LJ Talk:
If you are new to ZapTXT, simply go to zaptxt.com and click on ‘Start Here’. We’ll walk you through the process and you’ll be up and running in no time. If you have any questions, drop us a line at support [at] zaptxt-inc [dot] com.

Happy Zapping,
