I'd much prefer if the people in the company I worked for used some sort of IM or Skype chat vs. sending email after email after email to tell me “Thanks”, “Sure”, “You got it!”. Argh!! I've started ending my emails out with something along the lines of, “That should do it. Please reply if there are any questions or concerns…” But I've just started this technique, so I'll see if that reduces the email volume.

Well I primarily use email, MSN Messenger, and Box.net for collaborating.

I've been through this in terms of a marketing company I worked with previously. Back then it was tough, now it's easier with IM, Google docs, etc.

I use skype in the office.. and I have to say, it´s very effective for intra-office communication. People do tend to reply to the IMs because we all use it.. it´s used for work questions, problems, suggestions and is respected for that. There is a certain lack of physical contact there… even going so far as to say there is a lot less conversation made in a day. Email inboxes are always open as well… so that´s a good way to commuinicate too. I prefer skype though. Hope this helps a little. Karlin
