To contact someone, usually briefly, regardless of medium. Medium-specific alternatives such as call, email, IM, find, and call your cell are often too specific when all you mean to say is I'll get in touch with you somehow. Example: I'm not sure what I'm up to tonight, but I'll ping you before I go out.
