Do you have no IRC, ICQ, AIM or Skype in your past?



Yes, but in my experience at least, while these were used they were not used company wide. They weren't even department wide or team wide in some cases. So the communication over something like AIM was way more intentional, way more likely to be relevant to the teams work, and there was not the expectation of getting quick responses or keeping your status as green/available. So even still the situation was way more tenable for keeping focus time.
