Scorpiona, I don't want to offend you, but when ICQ first appeared, there were short numbers. Back in 1998, you could actually register a six-digit number. Those who managed to snag a short, attractive number still use it. There's also a whole market for beautiful, short, and desirable ICQ numbers on the internet.
So, your question about ICQ is a bit of a beginner's question.
