I know that for some of us, it may be difficult in the upcoming NaNo season to make it for the local write-ins and meet ups. From my previous 5 years of NaNoing, I've found online meet ups to be an effective alternative, and the travel time is hard to beat. I'm almost always online in some way shape or form (unless I'm not) and I'm always up for a bit of writerly chatting, or word warring (unless I'm at work, in which case writerly chatting is still acceptable)
If anyone's interested in such things, why not post your methods of online communications (AIM, Gtalk, ICQ, Twitter, etc.) and corresponding screen name. I'll start:
AIM: YGJunkie85
Twitter: Silver_Wolf85
If I don't respond right off, it's most likely because I'm easily distracted by shiny objects. But I always respond once I notice someone's trying to talk to me, especially if they're strategic and use the word NaNo or writing somewhere in their greeting. ^_^
Happy writing!

I forgot about facebook, as all I ever do is use it to continue my 2 year poking wars with people.
