I think I mentioned it a while back, but I saw that Skype has now been shut off by Microsoft.
I feel that they should go back to MSN Messenger because at least it was fun.
Another thing that I remember fondly was Odigo, which plugged into AOL and ICQ services, among others.

It had a radar where you could talk to people near you, or that had similar interests, and it had a very particular graphical style to its avatars and UI.
It played the sound of an arrow hitting a target every time a message came in.

The UI had little panels that slid in-and-out and the client had that skeuomorphic quality where it looked like a communicator device: like Trillian.
That was when graphical user interfaces were actually graphical, unlike Teams, which is all grey backgrounds and featureless buttons.
