There was an option to either use a profile picture or build an avatar for yourself. I remember it allowed its users to create custom avatars. It had a very unique feature that I liked a lot and did interest a lot of people. The first social media I had come to know about was yahoo messenger from a friend of mine who was already using yahoo messenger. There was a time when yahoo messenger and its chat rooms were quite popular must say very popular. Yahoo chat rooms were quite popular among the 90's kids. Who doesn't know about the yahoo chat rooms.
