We all work remotely (hence I keep an eye on WebWorkerDaily) and all use Yuuguu to develop Yuuguu.

The Growl support comes with Fluid so thats great. I only miss the support for Skype and IRC. For this I still use dedicated software. However I have high hopes on Trillian Astra, the screenshots just look amazing.

For whatever reason, Skype is now the only one I use. I tell people that they’d better get on Skype if they want to connect with me. And they do it! Well, for the most part anyway. Skype is cool because you can escalate a conversation. If it needs more than typing, just call – and you can still pass files and links etc back and forth. And to get more touchy-feely, turn on video.

It’s a dedicated Campfire client that supports Growl notifications. It helps me to concentrate on my current work and also keep up to speed on what’s going on. Also I second the tip on using a specified ‘space’ for your IM applications. If necessary I’ll go invisible to really get things done.

It does most of what you’re advocating from within a browser tab. I’ve found it to be a near-perfect chat client, and I’ve tried almost everything.
