At Lincoln Loop, our day-to-day chatter happens in IRC and occasionally Skype.

Any important discussions happen in Ginger (https://gingerhq.com) so people can participate asynchronously (disclaimer: its a product we built).

Once a week we have an optional staff meeting that happens in Google Hangout.

For the tech side, we rely heavily on GitHub and sometimes Pivotal Tracker.

Of all the ways Googe+ sucks, Hangouts are the one standout win. They're something I really think ought to fly as a standalone offering.
