I do a lot of business over instant messaging. Often, these chat sessions have important information that I need later. I used to copy out any important info into a separate file, but now many of the chat clients let you log your instant messaging. Some operating systems make it easy to search through your chat sessions to find a bit of information when you need it.
If you use iChat, here is the configuration window where you can save the chats (it is at the bottom of the image). Notice you can also open the folder directly from this window.
Sometimes this ability can become useful, but other times it can be very dangerous: someone stole my conversation files, and now he/or she has read all of them. I can only imagine what use will be done of them!
