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).

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.

Tennessee here. AIM for most people, ICQ for nerds. MSN was for our parents.
