Remember when icq could message aim users though? That was so badass.
remember trillian? or pidgin was it called? you could message every service.

Wonder who still uses it.
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?
MSN could do the same with Yahoo Messenger users, for a while at least.
