it's a messenger I think. I don't know where you can get it or how it works though...

It's sort of like AIM except you're assigned a number. That way you can change your name but since you have the same number your account stays the same.
I used to have it but not anymore since almost everyone has AIM.

It's quite popular in European countries. Don't sweat it, not many people use it.

It's one of the first. back in the mid 90's EVERYONE used it. 
Now, practically no one does.

I used it for 3 days a few years ago and hated it. It's for Everquest players who sell their powerful weapons on Ebay for money. That's my opinon. YOU KNOW IT!

No, it's for people to harass you and ask you to watch them on their webcam. Trust me.

It is the forerunner to IM, - I've had some conversations with some people almost as mad as me. For the record I'm 233-816-095 - straight out of 'The Prisoner' - oh no Rover's after me now.

Well, yeah. That's why I don't use ICQ - I'm a number, not a free man! Oh, wait...

Freedom is relative...
And besides, having a number like that is good because then if there is any trouble you know EXACTLY who did what.

Well, every name has some kind of registration. Like on MSN, you can change your display name, but you're still somebody@somewhere.com.
