Time to send a message

I am curious where you grew up.
In NYC everyone used AIM or AOL.
I know in the Philippines they used ICQ.
Actually, I am curious on what everyone was using at the time.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Practically everyone in Australia used MSN Messenger. Once it died, most people switched to Google Talk, then to Facebook Messenger. Messenger is still the most popular by far - last I checked, it had around 2x the number of users as the second most popular (which I think was WhatsApp).
ICQ was popular too, but just for one feature: free SMS. In an era where every SMS cost $0.25, being able to send them for free was incredibly useful. (it never cost money to receive phone calls or SMS in Australia, only to send them)

-nudges your screen every 30 seconds-
The rate limit was only client-side, so you could patch it with Messenger Plus and spam the button to keep sending nudges over and over.

I used ICQ in the min-late 90's in the Midwest US.
Never had AIM or AOL.ICQ was the best. Didn't it allow multiple app logins?

Remember when "afk" was a legit thing to write?
Now you’re leaving the bigger screen and can instantly reply with the small screen - no "afk" possible since you’ve got it always in your pocket.
I just this month realized that I really really really miss the ability to set a status like "On vacation, will reply on [date].
On Facebook Messenger I can set a status for at most 24 hours, anything beyond that is obviously not necessary..
I wanted to put a message telling people I don't use it anymore and yo contact me on [phone number] -

You could use some text as your profile picture, maybe that would work?
