Neat article from Library Journal about IM and different services blending IM into other services, and how it can be used for library purposes: http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6453427.html&
Chat has moved up in the world from the traditional IM formats to Meebo, where you can sign into multiple networks without installing software, Meebo Rooms and Gabbly, where you can have multiuser chat, Twitter, a microblogging platform with lots of options for sending and receiving info, and Tumblr and Meshly, which combine microblogging with other tools like social bookmarking and feed aggregation. I love what these tools can do....but I don't want to be available by IM all the time.

Thanks for the Meshly mention! I enjoyed this article as well and we'll be working to incorporate some of the feedback in a future release. Maybe we'll have a non-IM way of using the system as well for when you don't wish to be signed in ;)
