[Tim Budong]

shit! decided to wiki icq
didnt know AOL purchased the company for 407million
it is russian owned now


ICQ is an instant messaging computer program, which was first developed and popularized by the Israeli company Mirabilis, then bought by America Online, and since April 2010 owned by Mail.ru Group. The name ICQ is a homophone for the phrase "I seek you". This is an adaptation of the Morse code callout "CQ", which means "calling any station".
The first version of the program was released in November 1996 and ICQ became the first Internet-wide instant messaging service, later patenting the technology.[1] AOL acquired Mirabilis on June 8, 1998, for US$407 million.
In April 2010, AOL sold ICQ to Digital Sky Technologies for $187.5 million.[2] According to Time Warner, ICQ has over 100 million accounts registered.[3]

[The_AK]

Haven't touched Icq since I was in elementary school when I told this girl who became a whore recently that I thought I liked her. Brings back lots of memories.

[DanHibiki]

look at all the aZn names on icq lol

i was so bitter when i had to switch to msn

[parm104]

I've been rocking the ICQ chat message tone as my text notification for years now lol. It'll be nice to have the actual application now.

[bbbj]

Anyone with a 7 digit # working? I can't remember the pw but when i try to retrieve it with my 7 digit it says invalid. And I'm 100% sure this is the right # lol

[DanHibiki]

^mine works

[Euro7r]

I have been using the ICQ tone as my text msg ringtone.

[DanHibiki]

^i did too for my iphone. it can get annoying tho.

I was sitting in a quiet movie theatre waiting for the movie the previews to start and my texting was going nuts.

"uh oh..uhoh..UHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOUOHUHOUHOHUOUHOUUHOUH OUHOHUHOH!"

fuck that, in a month everybody's gonna forget about ICQ again and go back to BBM/Skype/whatever they were used to using and have the majority of their contacts on.

never touching ICQ again, don't care what anybody says :lol

[DanHibiki]

Best part about Icq was the ability to resume file transfers later on.

Why did people switch to msn anyway? Especially during that time where there wasn't even a history option for your chats.

from what i remember, my friends switched to msn because it was preloaded on windows, and obviously, going to download a new program was just too much work.

[sonick]

Also ICQ got too annoying with flashy useless features and bloatware.

Yup, this was it for me. But then MSN got just as bad...

Now ICQ is owned by some Russian spam group, and people are flocking back. Interesting!

What's the point? There's too many of these messaging apps now that are all the same. I use Whatsapp with most of my friends but still...I think that if there was a killer app, we'd move. The resurrection of ICQ doesn't seem to have anything we don't already have elsewhere...so what's the point?

ICQ basically lost the IM war because of the sale to AOL.

That's why the full version stopped at 2003 and moved to crappy lite. Then MSN just took over.

I remember using the free dial up internets and downloading random programs to stop the advertisements that came with it

Oh how many trojans were on the computer thanks to that :lol

Started ICQ when I had a 14.4...didn't work for shit, had to upgrade to a 33.6, then it was WICKED.

What was it? *78 or *80 to disable call waiting (so that you wouldn't get disconnected when someone called)? And anyone else remember netzero?

ICQ just shows the age of some of the users here
whatever the case maybe

logging back in was nostalgic

2) links to facebook, and cell phone... err ok.

3) cant change password or email address...

Is Cyber city the "game" where you control 2-d characters in some 2-d environment "rooms", kind of like diablo, where you chit chat?

was just talking about ICQ the other day. i still remember my 7 digit number! i remember we would all gather on icq to set up a game of team fortress. then have to sign out of icq to save "internets" and then 3 of us would 3 way call eachother on the other phoneline and play. you kids and your head sets have no idea how hard we gamed in like 96. haha

I remember getting ICQ #s from unichat. Conversation start like this:
1) walk up to random girl (the ones that didn't use an ugly avatar)
2) "a/s/l?" - determine worthiness from response
3) "wats ur icq #?"
4) repeat

Haha, Unichat had clans too. Rapid punch, ninja walk, flooding..memories.
