You and your department aren't normal. I think their actual usage data tells a much different story than your anecdote does.

We're totally not normal. That, I'll agree with.

Usage data, smoochage data. The point of bringing up ICQ was that at one time, for what seemed like a long time, it was king.

People seem to have given up and consider Facebook the winner of this era of the Internet. My point is that stuff comes along too often, and changes so much, that it won't matter eventually.

Besides all that are we really talking about two competitive products? People still haven't even decided what Facebook really is, nor have they really defined it either. Why? Because no one can figure it out.

Your point about ICQ was fine, but the first paragraph of your original comment was inconsequential.
No, his department isn't normal, you're right about that. In a great many workplaces, you're not even allowed to access Facebook.
