You could have a server similar to a DNS where you query it with someone's
personal IP and then the spits back the IP of the machine that they are
actively
working on. Which would change as you moved around. I guess it would
basically be
an extension of the instant messaging craze. It would also be similar to a
universal
phone number, which some telco's offer. Where when someone calls that
number it gets
forwarded around (home, work, cell etc..) until you pick up.
