Some software companies in the education space are starting to integrate IM into their existing product offerings.

Blackboard, for example, has a number of IM "building blocks" that allow the integration of consumer or enterprise IM (Bantu) products into their platform. This allows students and professors to send real-time messages in the context of their classes.

A lot of colleges and university IT departments are starting to realize that they want to offer their own IM solution, in a way similar to offering e-mail for students and staff.

The lack of any true interoperability standards makes this a decision between proprietary technologies (at least for the moment.)

My answer isn't there "Talking to friends while I should be doing work".

But I voted for the "friends and family" one because that is closest.
