Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.

Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.

I’m curious about others though, thanks!

    Funny responses, but to get to what you’re looking for: IRC.

    Used it decades ago, and got back to it a few years ago. Surprisingly, most of the people I chat with are under 40, and it’s close knit enough that:

    • I play games with them
    • Have met, and will meet others
    • Hired someone via an IRC connection (who I am now in a channel with after we no longer work together)
