"Authorities in Washington, DC are reportedly worried about DST’s latest acquisition: ICQ, an instant-messaging service previously owned by AOL."

Living near Langley, I've heard from a few different people who work at the "state department" that one or more of the DST guys is less than squeaky clean, something to do with private user data. I don't really know. But they all dropped off Facebook or created new profiles with pseudonyms after the DST-Facebook deal went down.


Interesting to note the market opportunity in non-Western markets
