Russian company almost bought ICQ

I read that the deal will be sealed by the end of this year. Do you think this will change anything?

Maybe they'll make it a usable product without having to instantly download hacks to fix the many problems.

probably part of some plot to get our credit card numbers.

If you just stand near a Russian, they can magically suck your credit card info into their laptop.

If that happened, I get the feeling "i sale short icq" would run rampant around the world.

Of 33mil ICQ users, 8mil are Russian I was reading the other day. Here I think. If those numbers are true, it'd be far from dead, more like they'd just be bringing it home to one of it's biggest user bases.

I'm sure Russians are only closely followed by the adult industry as ICQ's top user demographic.

No offense to our Russian webmasters here, but I steer clear of anything that has to do Russians and the mix of computers, banks, software or cars.
