I used ICQ, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger...I still remember my ICQ
number, and it's only 7 digits :)

I'm pretty bummed YIM shut down, that was a decent messenger. In the end I
used some multi-messenger program, I forgot which, but then people started
moving away and using FB and snapchat and stuff. I don't have a snap, or a
tictok...well, I do because I had to post something for a contest, but other
than that I never use them.
