ICQ, the world’s most popular instant messaging service company, was acquired by AOL in July for US$287 million. It recently launched a “next generation network portal” with AOL. The main feature of the ICQ99 is the ability to search the web without leaving the ICQ task bar. ICQ’s default search engine is Inktomi’s exclusive ICQ It, and the second option is Direct Hit’s ICQ Most Visited, which is a “popular” search engine and returns results based on the number of times the user entered the site. The third option is to allow users to select from 16 other search technology companies, including the famous AltaVista, Lycos and Excite, and the notorious WebCrawler.
