    I am one of the few people, it seems, that can not for the life of me remember my ICQ number… but I was there, using it.

    Anyone remember Trillian? Having your Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, Messenger, etc all in one program…

      I absolutely remember Trillian. It’s what convinced me to finally make an AIM account to talk with my “mainstream” friends who didn’t have ICQ or IRC, since I wouldn’t actually need to run any new software.

      And Facebook Messenger and Gmail Chat (or whatever it was called)! There was a glorious period of time where you could talk to pretty much anyone on any service from one chat app.

      Omg Trillian! I haven’t heard that name in forever. You just unlocked a flood of memories.

      I remember my ICQ number, 4170129, but I don’t remember why I know it.

      Surely I didn’t have to type it in every time I logged in, did I? That would be a really stupid UI.
