or as relevant at the time: how did you communicate via msn/aim/yim/icq? I hope you're not one of those condescending Unix types that only had online interactions on irc :P
No need to be rude, and not everyone uses chat software.
Googling for the web browser options online, it seems Links[1] and Abaco[2] are the best options right now. There are others listed in Wikipedia[3].
I wonder if there's someone out there that has put in the effort to improve their Plan9 environment. I wonder how difficult it might be to port something like Chromium, Firefox, or Webkit to Plan9. Maybe it's not as tremendously difficult as I imagine it, but maybe I'm dreaming thinking this.

yep, IRC, if I was at the computer I had a window with FreeNode and QuakeNET.
And a condescending Plan9 user, "Not only is UNIX dead, it's starting to smell really bad", as we say.
