Looking to cruise tonight, young homosexual?

ICQ is the old meme of instant messenger systems. An ugly, unwieldly program, it was inundated with spam and later bought and put out of its misery by AOL. Today, the only people who use ICQ are Quasidan, mediacrat, homosexual 13 year old boys looking for sex, and emo kids looking for old high school friends to cry about.

[edit] ICQ basics

  • ICQ is an attempt at leetspeak, as it stands for "I Seek You." Amazingly enough, ICQ's creators are not homosexuals.
  • ICQ, as a basic tenet, did not, and still doesn't, rely on screen names, but, rather, a series of numbers. One of the reasons it failed is because 16 year old girls have a hard enough time remembering their 10 digit phone number, let alone a 14 digit ICQ number.
  • ICQ has the single worst interface in the universe. See the image to the right.
  • ICQ can also be known as a "multiplayer notepad"
  • ICQ also hosts the gayest IRC chatrooms in the whole world.

[edit] Eye Seek Drama

Drama? On ICQ? No one frigging uses ICQ anymore. If you want to try, you could comment on how you still have a 6 or 7 seven digit number from the mid-1990s, but, as known, no one fucking cares.


ICQ is part of a series on Language & Communication.
