It's not that I'm not interested. It's just that I respect their time too much to interrupt their important work for the selfish purpose of satisfying my curiosity. I'll have a chance to ask them casually when the time is right, or if I am dying to know, I'll take a look at their check-in messages. If part of my work depends on theirs, or requires specific coordination, I'll use whatever mutually agreeable medium to exchange the information that is needed. I've never really felt like I didn't know what people on the team were working on, despite not having a daily meeting or weekly status. I don't get the blockers thing either. If I'm blocked, you're getting an email or IM immediately. I'm not going to wait until the weekly status email, or even the next day, to tell you. And I'm not going to bother the people who can't do anything about it.
