Bug Description
It would be nice if Launchpad (LP) could send a message to a user's Instant Message (IM) service (e.g. ICQ, MSN, GChat, Yahoo!Chat, XMPP, etc.) to advise of changes and additions to activity relating to that user as it currently does via email.
IM services could also be exposed to provide the option (at the receiver's request and activity owner's approval) to respond personally rather than just through LP.
An alternative may be to expose an IM service like some social-networking sites do to interact more directly with LP. This option could also offer the ability to chat in relation to a specific bug, and also have that discussion logged and connected to the initial activity (e.g. bug report).

From Foundation's perspective, I agree that this sounds like a nice idea but it is a (very) low priority. I'll ask the product strategist to weigh in.
