    ICQ was my first foray into meeting girls online, back when that was a really weird thing to do.

      I knew my first long distance gf on ICQ. I remember also having that service in Miranda IM along Yahoo Chat, MSN, Google Chat (back when it was based on XMPP) and Jabber.

      Messages from my current gf are announced with the classic ICQ “Uh-oh!”.

          There’s a quote that came from ICQ’s heyday that I had in mind when I wrote that:

          “The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and little girls are FBI agents.”
