    Me and my friends used to do this in middle school/high school with Google Docs.

    We would share a Google Docs link with each other and use it to communicate, and then pretend we were doing homework

      > Hannah Chinn: And so I was a kid who used weird parts of the internet not as they were originally designed to talk to my friends. I talked back and forth with my friends on Google Docs. And we would type things and then delete them, and then type things and then make them invisible by making the text white on the white background. So I think this is familiar behavior to me.
