I never knew anybody who used it. I had one contact on ICQ. Everybody else used AIM.

I don't even know what AIM is, everyone in Brazil was on ICQ and MSN, if you were a kid or teen you were on MSN, if you were an adult you were on ICQ.

AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ's main rival in the 90's in North America.
