    I think the last time I used anything like it was the "net send" command back in college about 20 years ago to send messages to each other across the college network!

    I find it great for telling colleagues they have fcuked up. Taking that extra second or two to look back over what I typed is worth not being called in front of HR for abusive language.

    Although when using it for general work matters, almost every conversation degenerates into nothing but lolcats URLs and the built-in emoticons

    We have instant messaging at work. I shout stuff across the workshop to the others and they shout stuff back. It's the eco-version, no esb required.

    Great for creeping on people. During lunch time, check if the hot girl has gone to lunch yet by seeing if it's saying how long she's been away from the computer.

    You could also time your schedule to when she comes into work and leaves work off of it, if you wished.

    And getting people to reply. Emails can easily be ignored. It's harder to ignore an instant message as they know you can see it.

    You mean MS Lync? yeah we use it. It's the pinging and sudden outbursts of laughter that it's mostly known for.:D It also can be a pain in the backside at times.
