Me too, in Canada. After ICQ, that is. I just realised I still remember my ICQ number! Ah the good ol' days, when contacts were only saved locally.

- TheCycoONE 9y agoAlso Canadian, I can easily recall the ICQ number I haven't used in 15 years but I couldn't tell you my student number from University despite all the times I wrote it. Coincidently that was when Facebook was exclusive to students and even then far more popular with us than MySpace. I'm not sure how this 2007 article could have missed it.
- isostatic 9y agoI remember my ICQ number (1998-2002ish), my compuserve id (1996-1998), and my first house phone number (1984-1993), and two school friend's hosue numbers (1993-2000), and the Live and Kicking number (081 811 8181, which dates it to 1990-1995). I can also tell you, just about, my mobile phone number (2006-now) and wife's (2003-now). I can also tell you both my passport numbers and expiry dates. Couldn't tell you my home phone number, let alone anybody else's. You remember numbers you use a lot, I have no idea why I remember by ICQ number though.
- ams6110 9y agoMy student number was my SSN. Was no big deal in those days.
- Nition 9y ago> Ah the good ol' days, when contacts were only saved locally. Ah, that explains why when I recently logged into ICQ for the first time in 15+ years, I apparently had no contacts. I thought they must have just wiped some old protocol at some point.
