QQ's Ancestor: ICQ in Bad Shape, Now Endorses Toothpaste

In a week it will be the Qingming Festival. Are the original netizens ready to sacrifice to the once glorious ICQ and Netscape? Here's some information for people born after 1990: Ten years ago, before Ma Huateng's time, ICQ was the most popular instant messaging tool. QQ was originally called Open ICQ when it first came out.

Times have changed. With the rise of rivals such as MSN Messenger, ICQ was acquired by AOL - you know, companies acquired by AOL all end in bankruptcy. After completely failing in the instant messaging field, ICQ has recently switched to selling toothpaste. Seeing the long-lost ICQ logo, I thought for a long time before recalling my ICQ number which only had 7 digits back then. How many digits was your ICQ number? Goodbye, i seek you.
