Sometimes your level of security requirements are higher than just some web
app to secure your messages.  Sometimes it makes more sense to use one of the
Darknet offerings.  The trio of Darknet's include TOR (The Onion Router), I2P
(The Invisible Internet Project), and Freenet (The Freenet Project).  These
offer real time text communications in a method that is exceptionally hard to
crack.  I2P even offers the capabilities to connect to underground IRC
services, having a compartmentalized private space in the Darknet.  If these
IRC servers are never made public then you've got something that is truly
amazing: a way to chat securely, in realtime, with anonymity if desired, and
hopped up on some mad cryptography.  This is the new world boys and girls. 
This is comms that let you confidently chat securely.  All three of the trio allow for instant communications, however Tor and I2P do the best job as Freenet is used mostly for hosting websites and their flogs (free blogs) with free as in freedom.  As Tor and I2P offer a crypto layer above the normal internet they can host any type of server platform, but with very high-end security and anonymity.
