@tomw Which messenger services were interoperable?
@zigzackly there was an AIM-ICQ link and an MSN-Yahoo one, but mostly I was thinking of 'meta' apps that let you log into all of them
@tomw Ah yes. I recall that AIM-ICQ happened because AOL bought Mirabilis? Don’t remember the MSN-Yahoo one, though; like many people at the time, I used all of them. Pidgin was one service that let you log into multiple messengers simultaneously?
