Texts maybe. Video conferencing and chats tend to be more tedious than human to human conversations from my experience.

IRC/Slack/etc is great because you can have informal conversations in a channel where your whole team can observe and participate in a more asynchronous nature.

Human conversations are fine, but you generally don't get a durable record of them after the fact, and only those present will have a chance to participate.
