ICQ, One of the Oldest Instant Messengers, Is Shutting Down - tchncs

> ICQ will stop working on June 26. It’s encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company. I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn’t know anything of it still remained.

I had no idea ICQ was even still operational. Good on them for making it as long as they did.

I was never an ICQ user, but it's always sad seeing such long-standing icons of the internet shut down.

They didn’t though, it was sold to a Russian company many years ago.
