I don't know if they still do it, but for a while the POS terminals at Englefield Oil / Duke & Duchess here in central Ohio used that, and the sonic "got a ring" noise as event notifiers. It was hilarious.

Yeah, I think mail.ru had it for a while (or still does, not sure.)

Rooskies bought it from AOHell back when they were shutting crap down.

I remember using ICQ as a little kid in the late 90s. Figured it was gone decades ago.

Mail.ru bought it from AOHell years ago, and the changing fortunes of time kind of hid it from view.

It was a real kicker to learn that it was headed by a jew, just as mail.ru was. I remember kids were going crazy over unique id numbers, even spending money on them.
