It was about as fragmented in 2000 or so:
MSN messenger, AOL Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo messenger, POWwow... I counted 40 at the time. There were also things like Odigo and hyperbix/Gooey which were used for messaging even though their main function was “char on page”
Now we have FB, WhatsApp, Telegram, Google, Google, Google.
