I'm introverted to the point that it weirds other people out, and permanent work from home drives me insane. When I do need to talk to someone, I really prefer to see if they're available at their desk and if so, talk with them in person where the "bandwidth" is highest. I do agree that for heads-down type work, it is nice to be able to shut out everything and concentrate.
