If I want someone I don't know yet to reach me, I expect them to Google search my phone number/email to make initial contact.
For those I already established initial contacts with, I'd like an account on a service that knows practically nothing about me other than my username(like coolkid654) and lets me send messages to others(coolkid655).
Given the state of data leaks[data snooping by the Gov or anyone else], and spam, it wouldn't be a terrible idea for someone to have a username that they reveal to only the people they trust(are worth). More like a Blackberry key.
If packaged well, and made to look 'cool', it could even catch on and everybody would create one(or many).
