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.
I also don’t remember my ICQ number, but I had one. And I remember my first time stepping into a 99 cent only store and their registers used that “uh oh” sound from it. I always felt like nobody else recognized where it was from.
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.
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…

Or pidgin when it was called gaim.
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.
