  After 22 years in software development, I have to say I am tired of all the new tools that supposedly solve all the world problems only to be abandoned in the next quarter.
  There is nothing wrong to talk to somebody when you want to tell them something. A lot of times it's more efficient then email, IMs or other more fancier tools.

For you maybe, for them no. That's not to say you should not talk to them, but your interruption of their workflow has a cost you may not perceive.
