    In Iowa, the news team decided on Google Talk and they all used the same platform. I suppose that's the exception to the rule and in other situations, it's the same as in our personal worlds: our friends have their particular IM preferences. I have a client that signs into all of them at the same, otherwise I'd go crazy trying to keep track of which colleague uses what.

    Thanks!
