Main information:
Initially, its main business was to establish an online paging system for paging stations. This software development project for enterprises or units can be said to be the best choice for all small and medium-sized network service companies, which is the predecessor of Tencent QQ.
QQ is an Internet-based instant messaging network tool independently developed by Tencent in February 1999. QQ used to imitate ICQ. It is an international chat tool, which means I am looking for you. OICQ imitates ICQ. It adds an o in front of ICQ, which means open I'll find you, which means "open ICQ".
However, it was pointed out that there was infringement. In June 2000, Tencent launched the QQ2000 version, and OICQ officially changed its name to QQ. Except the name has changed, the logo of Tencent QQ has not changed, and it has always been a little penguin. Because the little penguin in logo is cute and charming and highly recognized by girls, it is cute in English. Because cuteness is homophonic with Q, it is also a good name given to the little penguin by QQ.
1999 10 Just as OICQ swept the instant messaging market in China, a lawyer's letter was sent to Tencent, which had just been established for three years. AOL, the parent company of ICQ, sued Tencent for infringement and asked OICQ to change its name. Ma Hua Teng used his quick wits to rename OICQ QQ.
