Whither IM Users

Does anyone really use IM clients anymore? I never really hear anything going on with them, with the exception of each dot release of OS X where they add functionality.

Now I don't have a lot of buddies so that could be a part of it, but even of those that I do have I think I only see one or two of them online at all and neither one of us initiate a chat. Part of the problem my be because my primary client is through Google and their Google Talk within Gmail can be hard to notice that someone is trying to chat with you.

Or maybe everyone is trying to avoid me. That's food for thought.

These thoughts exclude folks who use an IM client at work as that's a different situation.

So tell me, have you noticed the same thing?
