It is still the only network where you can manage your research projects and find thousands of potential collaborators to work with.

IM the Top Collaboration Tool among Asian Firms
Enterprise instant messaging applications have started gaining attention from businesses, even though a majority of businesses in Asia Pacific uses consumer instant messaging tools. Findings of this report are based on Springboard's interviews with 469 CIOs, IT managers and business managers in over 400 large and SMB enterprises in Australia, New Zealand, China, India, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore.

‘IM is now recognized as an important communication tool and in many organizations, IM complements or even replaces relatively more expensive phone calls as a means of long distance intra and inter-organization communication," said Balaka Baruah Aggarwal, senior research manager -- Emerging Software at Springboard Research.  "Consumer instant messaging tools are a key catalyst for organizations that go on to deploy more integrated and advanced communication and collaboration platforms.’”

The findings of this report are in direct contrast to many of my experiences - people are still uncomfortable with email and instant messaging, preferring face-to-face or phone calls.  I wonder if it is related to a simple issue such as typing ability.  Typing was traditionally a gender-based skill, dominated by women, at least in the United States.  Confounding the gender is the generation.  More millenniums and generation X’ers are comfortable with the virtual world than Baby Boomers are.  I wonder what the results would be if this study were replicated in Japan, the United States or Western Europe?  More differences or similarities?
