We’re just starting our Clockwork rollout, and, although some folks have played with it, Google Talk is what we continue to use, at least for now. One benefit of GTalk is that messages also appear on your phone (provided you have Hangouts installed), so, if someone messages me, I can see it, no matter where I am. Marion -- Marion R.

We have Google email, which has a chat feature, so we tend to use that instead. I'd be curious to hear whether others have found a good use for the instant messaging in Clockwork.

It is pretty clunky and not very useful except to let you know when an appointment has arrived. Other than that it is cumbersome. What do others think?
