ICQ, One of the Oldest Instant Messengers, Is Shutting Down
ICQ, One of the Oldest Instant Messengers, Is Shutting Down
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.

Meanwhile IRC and Usenet are still doing fine.
Those are protocols, so the servers/services that run than can come and go. XMPP, which was at least inspired by ICQ, will probably be around forever, similarly.
