Its sort of like IRC without the channels and with lots of other bells and
whistles (e-mail, sending files, etc). You set up a list of people you can
contact and/or who can contact you rather than some channel where people
come and go to - realtime interaction without a browser or telnet session.
Great for emergency contacts and circumventing slow email systems, dreadful
in terms of productivity, just like IRC :-) Point your browser to
