There are CLI based IRC, IM, and web-browsers that you can use to communicate with friends.
By the command line tools are a bit more protocol specific than the GUI tools, if you can tell use what IM service you want to you we can point you to a Linux based CLI IM client for the protocol.0 -
You can always use the "write" command if your friends are logged on the same system.
Anyway, I belive you are talking about a cli IM as http://ojnk.sourceforge.net/
There's plenty of them, just check the internet (maybe you'd like the pidgin cli version...)0 -

I've used centerim(centericq), cabber, bsflite, irssi, and naim. All were good programs.0

Use mcabber or ekg2 to talk via xmpp.0

micq, irssi0

Just download Lynx, it's a web browser for the command line and after that download cmus, is a media player for the command line, and install the IRC client for the command line, now you can do a lot things in the command line, I really like it (except for the web browser, it's not so cool, you need images)
Hope this help0 -

If you like working in the console, you should also check out mplayer (support for framebuffer video playback), dvtm (an amazing terminal window manager) and fbida (framebuffer image viewer).0 -

Hey dude, thanks for the info. I'm downloading the files
Thanks0 -
If you've pidgin installed and you'd like to send message from the command line you can use libpurple library, if you've installed pidgin purple is a dependency. For example I use it to change my status line on all my accounts by using a command line python script (executed by cron)0

I use the CenterIM (before was centeriq) and it's great0

There used to be a command called "talk", not sure if it is still there.
