There was plenty of ASL asking going on, and you could search for people with similar interests to talk about stuff, it was 1 on 1 chat rather than a chatroom, so it was much slower paced than the other way to chat online, which was chatrooms with too many people. It was a time on the internet where you used a nickname, and for ICQ everyone had a UIN (Unique Identification Number) and a time where more often than not, you’d talk to people you didn’t know about similar interests, or just to have a little chat. So for a brief history lesson ICQ (I Seek You) was a computer messenger so you could talk to people all around the world, or your friends. If you have never heard of ICQ then I guess you are just waaaay to young! □ Either that, or you never went online before 2003.
