it's incredible to me that ICQ still going. Obviously it died down in worldwide/western popularity early 2000s but I do know it continued to be used in Russia and some other places. Kinda amazing and I'll always respect the original development coming out of Israel. Fond memories of those late 90s days when it was the standard.

With the random chance of any app with the right timing/reach and features to gain some traction (see whatsapp) etc, guess they figure why not put ourselves out there again hehe
