RE: Survey: Chat and IM

there are issues with AIM and Yahoo chat clients, I am not too sure what it is that you want to use these clients for, but here is how I dealt with it. You can't recieve files through it, and If I see it left on over night I dole out swift beatings with brightly colored keyboards.

	Hi, 

	We currently are allowing web based chat and instant messaging.  I know that 
	there are lots of security issues involved with its usage.  The IT folks are 
	telling me that it is a common practice in the industry.  I have a hard time 
	believing this and this is one battle I would like to take on. 

	QUESTION:  DOES YOUR COMPANY ALLOW WEB BASED CHAT AND INSTANT MESSAGING?  If 
	this was a battle you fought, could you please give me some ideas on how you 
	won the battle.  Any good articles/white papers that could support my 
	position?
