Mmm.

Doesn't IM requiere permanent connection? For status updates, etc?

I'd like to know what you think about two things:

1) We know email is broken (at least unsafe and prone to spam)
2) What is the best alternative for this scenario? Is it really IM?
3) Are there other (IP-based) protocolos suitable for delivering the
encrypted messages?
