ICQ Instant Messenger and Chat

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 Digital Sky Technologies (Russia).

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". ICQ users are identified by numbers called UIN, distributed in sequential order.

ICQ features include sending text messages, offline support, multi-user chats, free daily-limited SMS sending, resumable file transfers, greeting cards, multiplayer games and a searchable user directory. ICQ has fallen out of fashion in US and Britain, but it remains popular in eastern Europe and Russia.
