no im has managed to do what MSN did in 2001: custom emoticons, with a generous size limit, and animated gif support, that the other person doesn't need to have downloaded already

PleasureKevin posted:actually facebook seems to easily be the most popular for normals it definitely is, but my moral standards prevent me from using it fishmech posted:aim didn't have read receipts and the presence thing was only partially working. aim wasn't the best IM platform, either. i personally really dislike read receipts but presence/status is important. SMS is device-centric, while a proper IM platform needs to be account-centric. it shouldn't matter whether i log in from my phone or my computer or my laptop -- i should always be able to pull up my conversation history and use it seamlessly. whatsapp fails this metric too (you can use it on a computer but only by connecting to your phone). gchat was the epitome of instant messaging and hangouts is still not too bad, but would be way better if it had an open native client.

THC posted:Microsoft Windows MSN Windows Live Windows Messenger was the pinnacle of messaging platforms, nothing else even comes close third party clients were funny. the nudge timer was client side so you could grief people easy, and some clients had half broken features like “tell who blocked you or deleted you” that just caused fights. the platform was poo poo though and untrustworthy, I remember dumb teen peers getting hosed by cops for my_crimes.txt
