ICQ





ICQ was the first instant messaging internet service ever created, I was in high schoool when it was released, back in 1996. Although I expected something like this to be invented at some point, at that moment, I couldn’t believe it, but I wasn’t really that surprised because I had been in many chat rooms before using ICQ for the first time. What this application did was make communication faster, messages were delivered instantly, as advertised, plus the interface of the program and the provided ability to use things like emoticons made it really cool, unique and fascinating at that time.

Now this service is full of new, fun and useful features such as online social games, offline chat, multi-user chat, free SMS, greeting cards, ICQ TV, and more. It is also available for several mobile platforms like Android, iPhone, Java, Windows Mobile, Symbian, BlackBerry, Bada and Windows Phones, as well as for PC and MAC, and there’s even a web based version that allows users to chat without having to download or install anything called “Web-ICQ“, which is also known as the new ICQ2go.[1]
