Don't forget that the A in AOL stands for 1/193 countries. In AU (yes - anecdote != data) -- friends I would chat with were all on ICQ - before switching over to msn. Never heard of AIM

Second datapoint. In FI everyone who did not use IRC used ICQ and then switched to MSN.

Also AU and used ICQ; then MSN.

Note there was a strong anti-AOL sentiment throughout the 90's.
