Just when I Thought It’s Gone… http://eric.simply2good.com/2007/12/05/icq-just-when-i-thought-its-gone/ http://eric.simply2good.com/2007/12/05/icq-just-when-i-thought-its-gone/#comments Wed, 05 Dec 2007 13:33:11 +0000 Eric Tan http://eric.simply2good.com/2007/12/05/icq-just-when-i-thought-its-gone/ It’s been a long time since I come along these three letters. “I.C.Q.”

It’s also quite long since we last discussed about “how we used to love our one-and-only IM”, which we loved sooooo much! (in last millennium…)

Since then, Yahoo messenger and MSN (later became live) messenger took over. All because of the emoticons, or more precisely, the “annoying” animated graphical emoticons.

But now, ICQ is back! erm.. not back to overtake Yahoo or Live messenger, but rather back in a convenient way.. via GMail chat.

Somehow, it give me a retro feeling.. seeing one or two friends pop up in my contact list as an AIM contact, it feels like receiving morse code from old pal via some not-so-clear radio frequency after years of mobile phone usage. Nice little retro feeling.

See you, on ICQ! ~posted by 39378776
