About This Quiz
In the old days of Myspace, the only worries we had were forming our Top 8, or Top 7 because obviously, there was Tom! From your background screen to the music playing, build a Myspace page and we'll give you an AIM screen name.
In 2003, MySpace started a social networking phenomenon. Founded by Tom Anderson, Chris DeWolfe and Jon Hart, the website made it possible for friends to connect with each other and others all around the world. While it is often considered a thing of the past, there are a few things about the site that are unforgettable.ÂÂ
How could you forget Tom's image that would always pop up in your top friends? You probably spent hours trying to pick out a background image and decide the best song to play as others scroll through your page. As MySpace was taking up your time, AIM probably was, too!
AIM is the AOL Instant Messenger. Launched in 1997, it gave users the chance to live chat with any other person who had a "screen name." Everyone knows that your screen name was the most important part! You might've been QTPie104. Maybe you were NBAKid23. While this was a great part of the 2000s, AIM has since been discontinued, but we're bringing it back today!
Go back to the days of broadband and build a Myspace page with this quiz and we'll give you an AIM Screen Name!
Tom will thank you!
