If you ever want a list of old messaging apps, just edit your KJ profile: Quote: ICQ number: AOL Instant Messenger: WL/MSN Messenger: Yahoo Messenger: Jabber address: Does anybody still use these? I used to use MSN Messenger, but that got converted into a Skype account. The rest I never used. Now I just use Skype at work, Facebook for UK family/friends, and WeChat for Chinese family/friends. |

I don't know what ICQ is. I haven't used AIM since 2001? Ditto MSN. I don't think I ever used Yahoo messenger. And I don't know what Jabber is. |

How do you not know what ICQ is? 15 years or so ago it was the most popular char client in the world I think. |

I mean, maybe I used to know what it meant? But I don't think I ever used it often. I think I may remember using it to chat with people here? I'm not sure. |

The funny thing is that all of those are still going in some way, shape, or form. Nothing dies in the digital world. |

I've never heard of ICQ either. I used AIM up until like 2007 and MSN until like 2004. Obviously FB Messenger and unlimited texting were the death knell. |

I always liked the name "i seek you". It's as creepy sounding as it is friendly sounding. |

I only really used MSN of those, heavily in high school, and I think I stopped around mid 2004 when I when to college. I don't remember using any direct chatting tool during my college years and just staying in touch with people by texting and email. I do remember making an ICQ account way back, but it never caught on with anyone around me it seems. When I moved to China in 2008 I started using QQ, then Whatsapp came along to stay in touch with people back home and now WeChat reigns as my daily com. tool |

Ha, QQ. I had one of those for a few years. |

For what it's worth, AOL Instant Messenger will be discontinued on 15th December 2017. |
