If someone sends a message, I can quickly minimize and not lose my train of thought.  If someone comes to my desk, I can be more easily sidetracked.  Of course, such a system is open to abuse, but since users can't IM anyone outside the company, I haven't really seen any of it.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">shawnfarner</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:47:37 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Whoa, a non-tech company that gets tech</title><link>http://shawnfarner.disqus.com/whoa_a_non_tech_company_that_gets_tech/#comment-583199</link><description>I'll be interested to learn whether you feel more productive running an IM client on your workstation.
