An ICO is an Initial Coin Offering. It's like a company offer stock, but instead of stock it's tokens similar to bitcoin. The tokens don't necessarily have any value.
Gab.ai are doing an ICO at the minute in one of their endless rounds of raising capital.
ICOs are interesting and will just get bigger and more common because they're still pretty much unregulated, and they allow small investors to invest/participate in the market. But I also think that nearly all the ICOs I have seen so far are shady as fuck.
