This blog is in the form of a 'learning log' for my online studies @ Curtin for NET11.

Module 2: ICQ

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

I downloaded and installed ICQ today - it was like stepping back in time, as I last used ICQ when I was 11yrs old back in 1997. I clearly remember trying it for the first time by messaging a cousin, and all we did was use a 'laughter' button instead of typing much.

I didn't use any form of instant messaging again until 2004 - when I started with MSN messenger (because friends used it) progressed to Gtalk and finally tried Yahoo! messenger.

After signing up and getting my ICQ number (how quaint! just like phone numbers) I posted my details on the webCT discussion boards, and hopefully I'll be able to chat with a few other NET11 students.

I did try searching for the nickname 'advanced netstudies' but unfortunately ICQ replied with

'Your request cannot be processed at
this time. Please try again later.'

So I will attempt to find it again later...

**UPDATE - Thursday 15th March**

I found the nickname 'advanced netstudies' on ICQ - the number is 337 293 557.
The comment in the 'about' section says 'advanced netstudies'
