In 1999, my future wife and I, after an initial in person meeting, chatted incessantly over ICQ. It's how we really got to know each other.
To this day, this 'uh-oh!' sound makes me tingle all over.
- bovermyer 7y agoSimilar story here, but for me and my (now ex-)wife, it was AIM.
- seapunk 7y agoI think you can thank Mirabilis founders! So much people have good memories thanks to ICQ.
- tehlike 7y agoYup. It also had random chat feature which i enjoyed quite a lot. Made my first online friends (whom i ended up meeting in real life, and are still friends with to date).
- qubex 7y agoThe ICQ “uh-oh!” sound is still the iMessage custom sound for my best friend’s contact, because I remember spending sleepless muddy summer nights of 1999 chatting with him on the crazy realtime chat feature.
