Personally I agree when I'm in the flow of coding, iPod in ears and all that, IM is a much better way of getting stuff across, I also find even if I get involved in the conversation (instead of ignoring the IM) the act of typing instead of talking rarely breaks my flow of concentration. Much better than concentration breaking ominous realisation someone's standing next to you when you haven't noticed they've crept up, because your knee deep in code and have loud glitch-hop piping into your ears.... maybe that's just me. Now must get on AIM and bitch about my co-workers.
