"ICQ's growth and irreverent spirit are a testament to the strength of
AOL's multiple-brand strategy," said Bob Pittman, president and chief
operating officer of AOL. The company also commented that there is very
little overlap between the AOL audience and that of ICQ.
"When we decided to purchase ICQ, we knew we had a hit on our hands, but by
any measure, the ICQ brand has exceeded expectations," said Ted Leonsis,
president of AOL Interactive Properties Group.
ICQ will soon launch the ICQ Mail service, a free Web-based e-mail service
created in partnership with Critical Path
Inc. Another deal is in the works with Net2Phone to add Internet telephony
services.
