As a counter-example, IBM internally uses Lotus Sametime. So an IBM employee is pretty much guaranteed to have all their colleagues – and no personal contacts (excluding the overlap) – on a single account on a single service. I'm not sure how common internal IM servers are in other companies, though. > So in short there is no real use case for this feature :) I'm not looking for this feature myself, and I'm inclined to agree with you. If you're at work, you set your presence message to "at work" and then if you have reasonable friends they will leave you alone. :-) That said, there are people who are convinced they need this; I thought it was worth mentioning. Thanks, Will
