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.

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'
