Instead of choosing a screen name, you get a number. But you can add a nick name that people will see when they check out your profile. ICQ has been around for a long time so that explains why they gave out numbers instead of letting the user choose a SN.

So do you just make one up or what?

It's like MSN Messenger, but on steroids. It's been around longer too.

You sign up, they give you a number. Just like your social security number (if you live in the states).
