We use e-mail and IMs where need be but Ventrilo (although not a very elegant application) has facilitated a quick, "push-to-talk" voice communication that has redefined the way we operate. Comes in both Mac and PC flavors for the free client and is very inexpensive to host. That's me. As far as daily communication between our young team goes … nothing has beaten Ventrilo thus far.

I set up a main account and then a series of their notepads, one each in fact. We can then each update what we need to do and have done. Sort of like a global view of everyones to-do list. Been using it for about a year now and it works brilliantly. At pixeco we’ve been using www.protopage.com. I set up a main account and then a series of their notepads, one each in fact.

For this, here in Italy, we're used to have human touch: we meet normaly in front of the coffee machine or in the sun right outside the door if someone wants to smoke. This solutions have also the advantage that you make some steps and relaxe your eyes. ciao alexander <a href="http://ottantaventi.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Ottantaventi blog</a> I like your suggestion as a log to know what everybody in the team is doing, but frankly I see it exagerated to use it in a small business for chatting.

Even with cool apps like Pyro that integrate it tighter in OS X, it still seems like more trouble than iChat or Twitter. One thing I like about chatting in general is scheduling mini meetings. Checking in with people to see if they are available for a short conversation. This eliminated a lot of Voicemail tag. Our campfire room died after about 3 months.

See http://dwarfurl.com/667dc The idea is similar -- use technology to facilitate coordination. One advantage with Twitter -- you don't need to be at a PC with a 'net connection to update your status.
