Ask Hacker News: which (if any) instant messaging tools do you use?
3 comments
I'm using Kopete with my Ggoogle Talk account. I also have an ancient ICQ account (from ~1998?) lying around but I hardly use that at all. gtalk's gmail integration is great for when I'm on the go.
I'm starting to get into Twitter, although none of my friends use it.

irssi and
finch (terminal app that comes with pidgin)
None. I use email and check it at my convenience.
I you're using instant messaging while hacking, then you're not focusing enough.

Twitter (not IM but fulfills some of the same functions)? Google Talk or some other Jabber-based service? One of the old-school networks like AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo? IRC?
