There is a good article about this topic in today's Wall Street Journal. I linked to it from my blog post and wrote about it. http://thisthatotherthing.wordpress.com/2009/10...

I actually built a tool for small-team communication.
It’s half twitter, half shared-to-do-list.
Was hoping to add svn integration, but oh well.
There’s only so much time.

IM is essential to me...and very few people abuse it with me since (a) I've set expectations for how I use it and (b) I don't give it out often and (c) I'm not that popular : ). But it's the primary way my team and I communicate.

I decided to see how others used or didn't use IM and created a survey, which I thought you and your readers might find userful. The results are here:

Interesting post, Chris. As an enterprise 2.0 trainer, the topic of disruption often comes up as we discuss transitioning from the overuse of email to more collaborative web technologies like a wiki, blogs, or even “old school” chat rooms. What I find interesting is there is a difference between the interruption to the sender and the interruption to the recipient. If I need to pause what I'm doing and compose an email, that's a big interruption to my workflow but not much interruption to the person I'm emailing. If I initiate a chat, that's almost no interruption to my workflow, but perhaps a huge interruption to the person I just pinged. The key is to use the method that works best for you, others, and the topic at hand.
