What did you use on the Internet as a 10 year old?

Social media has changed. The way we communicate online has changed. The platforms we used have changed, and looking back on all the weird stuff we used to talk to each other as kids on the Internet is probably one of the most nostalgic things you could do online. First example: MSN messenger. Being a 10 year old in the 2000-decade means you absolutely had to have MSN messenger so you could talk to your friends about crap that doesn’t even matter or make sense, and make a stupid name for yourself that nobody understands. Like so:

Looking back on this is so horribly embarrassing, because I remember being one of those idiot’s, making a ridiculous name and trying to talk to 20 people at once, but all I was really doing was typing BRB or G2G to all of them and switching between each conversation to make it look like I had so many friends. It was so unbelievably stupid! But we all did it for some reason, and I can take comfort in knowing that every kid in my school did the exact same thing as well.

I don’t think anyone who grew up in the 2000-decade could look at an MSN messenger picture and not cringe horribly in humiliation, but also a somewhat humorous nostalgia.
