This article will explain in detail what is OICQ, the content of the article is of high quality, so the editor will share it with you for reference. I hope you will have a certain understanding of the relevant knowledge after reading this article.

OICQ, the predecessor of Tencent QQ, is a free chat tool developed by Internet-based network paging software. Its reasonable design, good application, powerful function, stable and efficient system operation has won the recognition of users.

ICQ

ICQ is an instant messaging software.

In 1996, three Israelis, Vesgar, Wadi and Godfinger, got together and decided to develop software that would allow people to communicate quickly and directly on the Internet. They named the new software ICQ, which means "I SEEK YOU".

ICQ supports chatting on Internet, sending messages and files, and so on.

ICQ function

Since it first appeared on the Internet in 1996, ICQ has been adding new features to make it more and more like an operating system rather than just a tool for live chat, giving users more reason to use it for a long time. So far, IP phone service has been added to ICQ, with a search engine, a calendar that works like an alarm clock, an automatic jump device, and a directory index that helps ICQ users connect with other like-minded people.

Development problem

The rise of similar software

Once ICQ was listed, it quickly gained a broad market. Due to the bright future, similar software quickly followed up. Because its own technology is not complex, so soon almost every country has launched its own IM software, grabbing the market.

Take the domestic Tencent QQ software as an example: Tencent QQ was born in Tencent OICQ, and OICQ is one of the earliest instant messaging software in China. The initial design of the software is completely modeled on ICQ, completely copied from the content, form and other aspects. ICQ has less installation junk and viruses, so it basically belongs to green software, and the number of ICQ is completely free, and registration applications are accepted at any time, which is very commendable.

Single language

At the beginning of the market, ICQ did not pay attention to the markets of other countries, so it only launched the English version around the world. This brings opportunities to other local IM software, and the popularity of domestic OICQ is largely due to the lack of a Chinese version of ICQ. There were no Chinese patches at that time, and many people in China suffered from ICQ's English interface, so when OICQ was listed, it immediately abandoned ICQ. However, with the popularity of English in China and English as an international language, this situation has been more or less overcome. But because of accustomed to the domestic communication software, so ICQ in the domestic market is still not too big.

Self-fault

The development of ICQ itself has gone the wrong way, and with the update of the version, ICQ is so huge that too many features are hardly used, and most of the time these integrated functions seem to be a hodgepodge with no interconnection. For ordinary users, these large and inappropriate functions have no other use except to increase the difficulty of use. Although the integration of AIM and ICQ of AOL AOL took note of this and made adjustments in the past period of time, it was too late to make a stripped-down version of ICQLite without introducing a lot of extended features.

Today's IM market, the form has changed greatly, is no longer what it used to be. In the domestic market, Tencent QQ alone dominates half of the market, while MSN grabs the remaining 1x4, while NetEase Bubble, Langma UC (now acquired by Sina and become Sina UC), yahoo Tong and so on are still fighting to the death. Although ICQ still has a certain share in the foreign market so far, the MSN released by Microsoft has been seamlessly integrated with the operating system from the XP version, the social atmosphere is gradually tilted to Microsoft, and the history seems to repeat itself.

On what is OICQ to share here, I hope that the above content can be of some help to you, can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
