Heys are rather unique as instant messaging systems go. They're heavily customisable, highly personal and altogether different to [[IRC]] or the bigger instant messengers like MSN or AOL. They remain more popular among older generations of brickies but are still used by a lot of the newer ones too. | Heys are rather unique as instant messaging systems go.
