I have been using AOL Instant Messenger for so long that it predates my standard username style as you may notice. But I was never a customer so I had really had access to anything else they offered.

It could be me, but I think this page is about as Web 1.0-looking as any Web 2.0 design could be. It is exactly like what you expect to see from a big corporation try to create some socialnetworking and not having a clue about how to do it.

ICQ is one of the original instant messaging services. I don’t remember when I first created my account but I know I have had it for at least a decade.

But it isn’t something I use very much anymore. I just had to clean up the profile data because it was years out of date. So consider this one included just for completeness.
