Of ICQ's 33 Million Worldwide Users, 8.3 Million are Russian
Fun fact
Quote:
ICQ, which AOL acquired in 1998 for $400 million, has 33 million worldwide monthly users, according to Comscore. But 8.3 million of those are in Russia, where it hold the no. 1 spot for instant messaging. That explains DST?s interest. It also explains some of Google?s interest as they struggle to get a proper foothold in that market.
The end price for ICQ may be higher than $250 million.
