ICQ

1996-11 – 2024-06-26
Mirabilis, later AOL and VK

ICQ died on June 26, 2024, at 27. Most of its friends assumed it had gone years earlier.

It gave each user a number instead of a name, and people remembered the number longer than the name.

It is remembered for one sound. It made that sound every time someone wanted you.

It changed owners three times and kept the same voice through all of them.

In lieu of flowers, send one last uh-oh.
