I never knew anybody who used it. I had one contact on ICQ. Everybody else used AIM.
Remember when icq could message aim users though? That was so badass.
remember trillian? or pidgin was it called? you could message every service.
that was badass.
I actually forgot all about that, but yes I did use Trillian at one point. Can you imagine big tech companies letting you use third party apps that didn't lock you into their service or ad stream these days?
