The name ICQ is a play (an oronym) on the phrase "I seek you".ICQ features include sending text messages with offline support, multi-user chats, Free daily-limited SMS sending, resumable file transfers, greeting cards and multiplayer games. Other features included a searchable user directory and POP3 email support. ICQ users are identified by numbers called UIN, distributed in sequential order. New users are now given a UIN of well over 300,000,000, and low numbers (six or five digits) have been auctioned on eBay by users who signed up in ICQ's early days. Since 2000, ICQ and AIM users are able to add each other to their contact list without the need of any external clients.

Miranda provides a basic client framework and an advanced plugin architecture.

Through a little effort, Miranda can be customized to look and function to each individual's needs due to its flexible design. It is easy to manage hundreds of IM buddies on an assortment of IM networks with convenient built-in features such as contact renaming as well as plugins such as QuickSearch which simplify organization of contacts. All instant messages are stored to file and can easily be recovered at a later time, or deleted automatically or manually with either the DB Tool or the History Sweeper plugin. Miranda can be configured to display photos or contact details when the mouse cursor is placed over a contact in the contact list. Miranda is free of advertising and free of charge. Miranda is worked on both by the core developers and by lots of plugin developers. With a few plugins, Miranda can fit in a single 1.44 MB floppy disk or load directly from a USB flash drive with several plugins and even a large database.
Due to its flexible nature, Miranda holds a greater appeal to people who like to tweak their software. While no special skills are required in order to use it, more advanced users may wish to dig deeper into the Miranda IM database files with one of the available database plugins.
