Telepathy Tubes allow other programs to work with your IM client. Today, you can chat and send files over IM. With Tubes, other programs can extend this — the simple example would a chess program that'll let you play against your IM buddies; the serious examples are things like shared wordprocessors or discussion whiteboards. The really important examples, of course, will be the ones we can't even imagine yet...
Over the last week or two, I've put together the beginnings of a howto with an example. It's intended for developers who wish to use Telepathy Tubes as a black-box library, and gives (I hope) everything needed to make a one-to-one D-Tube from a python program.
