In my humble opinion it is useless and time consuming. I believe IM is a lot better for conversations,and if you want to meet new people social networks are (or should be) the answer.

I've never really seen what the special deal about that site was, until now. BTW - It's a huge hype here in the Netherlands as well, lots of people blogging about it and even setting up meetings for Twitters. -Dave Hey Tom,
