Different usage profile. Instant messaging was typically used for real time conversations. Facebook messenger, Twitter DMs, etc are typically used for delayed messaging, where the messages are longer and the sender may not expect a reply for hours.
- hombre_fatal 8y agoI grew up through AIM, MSN Messenger, ICQ, etc. and Facebook Messenger is used the same exact way except that it has "offline receiving" which expands its usefulness. Maybe you are over-extrapolating from the fact that you stopped instant messaging as you got older.
