By the time of this article’s publication, that number was 1 million. Honk founder Benji Taylor also noted on Twitter the app has seen 550,000 “Honks” sent so far, as of Wednesday, December 23, 2020, shortly after noon Eastern. It’s even marketing to them on TikTok, where it’s already generated some 140K+ “Likes,” as of the time of writing, despite having only uploaded its first video yesterday. The last option on the list of ages is “21+” - the “older folks” age bracket, which may sting a bit for the millennial crowd who often still think of themselves as the online trendsetters.īut Honk is aiming to grab Gen Z’s interest, it seems. When Honk asks for your age during setup, in fact, you can select an exact number from the list that appears - unless you’re “old,” that is. The app is clearly aiming for a young crowd of largely teenage users. If this all seems somewhat silly, then you’re probably not the target market for the Honk messaging experience. I would like to give it a lower mark but I cannot because it does do what it is supposed to.Facebook’s Snapchat-like ‘Vanish Mode’ feature arrives on Messenger and InstagramĪnd, of course, if you need to get someone’s attention, you can tap “Honk” to flood them with notifications. I can't give higher because I feel the product is inferior to what it should be given its history and what it could be if they spent more time working on it. I'm rating this a 3 because it does what is intended. It still has the basic characteristics of the original program. I've used the newer versions including this one.

AOL doomed ICQ when it became the owner of two IM clients (AIM & ICQ) and effectively brought about the death of ICQ as a competitor in the IM universe. Now Windows Live Messenger is hands and shoulders above ICQ.

I remember when MSN Messenger was garbage and ICQ was awesome. The new look is interesting but I'd prefer more normal than flashy. AOL killed off the use of ICQ for the vast majority of people who once loved it. AOL finally went the Lite route but they went too far the other direction and left out important features.

Once AOL acquired Mirabilis things just headed downhill.
