hare krsna shrinivas prabhu,
i’m living in rural india and my slow internet connection doesn’t allow me to use instant messengers, but i’m managing the congregational development ministry’s web site, http://namahatta.org/. we have a ‘content-channel’ for devotees using the internet, incl. audio- and text-messengers like skype, etc., at this address: http://namahatta.org/nh2/en/internet_preach/
i’ve posted your request for online-association there and hope that some reader will try to contact you. it would be helpful, of course, if you provided your online-identity on skype, or whatever instant messenger you’re using. you’re most welcome, of course, to join namahatta.org and subscribe to this ‘content-channel.’
i’m trying to provide information there about online-preaching, including web sites that offer online programs, like the “vaishnava connection” at http://vconline.biz/ – a web site based in the UK, offering online morning-programs, and while i’ve not participated in any, i’m sure devotees there would be happy to ‘talk’ to you.
apart from that, while i can’t talk to you online due to technical limitations, i’d be happy to answer questions or help you in any way i can via email (phani@namahatta.org).
ys phani.

My name is Sailendriya devi dasi. I live in the UK. I know that there is a facility to chat online to devotees on a site called Krishna.com. If you go onto the site then click on Connect, you will see some ways of getting in touch.
Hope this helps
