1. That's a really great post right there.
2. Do you use google hangouts? If so can you hit me at [email protected] on there?
3. I am not in the US and sometimes lose touch with different pieces of digital culture: Are we finally at the point where there is a decent single interoperable instant messaging client that I somehow missed, or are we still living on islands named:

a) Google/Android
b) Facebook
c) Apple
d) POTS/Whatsapp
