Awe, the Instant Message! Again, our generation is so spoiled, but man, I cannot remember how life was without using instant messaging. It is super helpful! Currently I use instant messaging with Google Talk, Microsoft Lync, and Facebook. I intermingle these a lot but most of my instant messaging on Facebook is focused on family and friends. I use Microsoft Lync solely for business instant messaging and I use Google Talk for a mix of all three. All of these platforms cross over to my cell phone, so WIN!
Microsoft Lync is a bit more secure, I'm told, so we try to use it for all actual business related information that needs to be a bit more protected. My work team is geographically separated (California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and a few states up in New England), so during meetings with our clients, it is a great way for us to communicate during these meetings. Microsoft Lync also allows the ability to share screens and video chatting - so it is a double WIN!
I prefer Google Talk but mainly because all of the closer people to me are on it, so it is easier to chat with them all. :)
