Gosh. Missed out on all of these.

Never even heard of ICQ. :joy:

I use WeChat, so much better

I don’t have any friends so I don’ t need to use social networks.

Where’s Skype? It replaced ICQ back in the day, because it looked better and was more functional overall. Skype allowed to call other users, which was especially cool.
