I (and other people I know in industry) use IRC.  There's an active
IRC channel on irc.freenode.org for almost every free software project
in existence.  Mozilla, in particular among companies I know, uses IRC
for just about everything.

There's a chat-in-the-cloud startup called Campfire [1] that I know
some companies use.  There's a cloud IRC service called irccloud that
I know people who use as well.
