I'm with you on this, Fictional. - one of the biggest points made by all these oil crash websites is that oil is our main source of power - no oil = no power. I see big chunks of the internet going down as servers are bricked, and they say that J. random isn't going to have light, let alone internet access.

Will the internet go down if no oil? I assume so, I guess we will have to see how it is explained in the game. It turns out that nuclear power is the greatest source of energy used by NYC - or it was in 2005. Still, that didn't help in the blackout.

I found this quote which I liked from a 2005 post:

I've read pretty much the whole thread and haven't seen the word "horse" used once. What's that about? I live in the middle of nowhere and have to get a ride or walk a mile to the bus stop to get to an actual city. If not being able to use fuel our cars hits anyone hard, you'd think it would be me, but you can't really drive in any direction from our house without passing at least one horse owned by a neighbor. If there's civilization to reach, lots of us out here could probably reach it without gas.

Edit: just saw the introduction thread, so I took out my info from this post.

You download the client and sign up for an account at http://www.aim.com/

There are other clients you can use besides just theirs, especially if you want to use multiple IMs and not just AIM. But that will get you started.
