Well, not sure about advantage...it's just different. I mean it's a live chat versus scripted back-and-forth-emailing (which actually, I can't stand). Using PhoneAlarm, I really get a huge alert everytime there is a new email but if I'm in a chat already, no noise, no vibrate.
it's just easier for some things. plus, friends/family can quickly see my away message and know where I am, or if I'm busy, etc. If they see I'm in the city and they are too...hey we can meet up!
Or if I'm trying to contact someone, not everyone else has push email on their phones (most don't in fact) so it could take hours for them to get the email, but a lot of people have IM on their phones...
