Journalert is a free Mac OS X client application for the LiveJournal service -- it lets you post to your journal or to communities, and to learn when your friends journals are updated

Here are some key features of "Journalert":
It supports styled text (WYSIWYG) editing, albeit in limited form. If the only formatting you use is bold, italic and links, you'll never need to type another HTML tag again. If you need to add more formatting, you can switch to HTML view and go crazy.
The HTML view includes some conveniences for automatically entering tags (including bold, italic and links.)
If left running, it will notify you whenever your Friends page is updated, by bouncing its icon in the Dock and then displaying an alert that shows the name of the friend who posted as well as the picture they used and the subject of the post. Pressing the OK button will then display the Friends page in your Web browser.
[Note: Unfortunately, as of 3/2003, the LiveJournal servers currently only support this feature for paid accounts.]
As a Cocoa app, it supports spell-checking, undo, and international text.
