ICQ

Pros: Awesome, it has so many features
Cons: no complaints

You need a messenger? Think ICQ. ICQ is probably the most well known messenger around. I have it and I love it. I chose it because of a lot of reasons.


First of all, I got it because all of my friends said it was just awesome. This is...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Sometimes abused by chatty family members

I have been using one version or another of ICQ for about a year. I come from a very large family and we are spread out all across the country. ICQ has come to be our chosen method for staying in touch with each other. The online and offline messaging...

Pros: Super for network communication.
Cons: Still has a couple holes to patch up.

I have been using the ICQ 99 beta for about five months now and I would like to explain the ins and outs of ICQ, and elaborate on just who ICQ is for and who would be better off without it.

So, what is ICQ? It's software that, when...

Pros: Contact with friends & Family
Cons: Random ICQs from people about porn and $$ making schemes, addicting

For those of you gabby people who like to be in constant contact with your friends, ICQ is probably a good idea for you. ICQ's use has skyrocketed in the last years as more and more people have started using it.

Not only is it popular, but...

Pros: EASY TO USE
Cons: NOT VIRUS FREE

I Downloaded ICQ 1 year ago. I think it is GREAT INSTANT MASSAGER
I like that you can stay INVISIBLE if you like.
It is easy to USE, and easy to meet new FRIENDS.

But someone sent me a URL (A FRIEND) for me to go to.
COME TO...

Pros: Could Send Files
Cons: Annoying, Disappointing, Not AOL Instant Messenger

I first downloaded ICQ when one of my best friends at home was using it because he didn't have AOL instant messenger and I'll admit that I was very impressed when I first started using it. Sure it was a little more difficult to use than AOL, but I liked...

Pros: File transfers, ease of use, a lot of options.
Cons: Sometimes the program crashes.

Recently I have read a opinion on icq, that basically put down the entire program. Apparently for some people this program is to hard to use. Even though it's quite simple to figure out, others don't find it that way. Thus I recommend the book ICQ...

Pros: private chat
Cons: all the spam you can get if you don't go through the setup completely

I think this program is a winner. The only problem I have with it is they should instruct new users what to do in the set up of the program to prevent perverted stuff from being sent to you. I've been with them since day one and know my way around a...

Pros: everyone has it, free
Cons: some network outages and spamming

ICQ is the greatest thing that ever happened to a chat addict. Although there are other messeging programs out there, AOL IM, POW WOW, etc...ICQ does it all and just about everyone seems to have it. I'm surprised that Mirabilis hasn't decided to charge...

Pros: private chat, search for new friends, conveiniet
Cons: easy access to viruses, porn sites

Well I don't know about you all but I love my icq. it has keep me in touch with my family and great friends and I have even made wonderful new friends on the internet. I have been able to talk to my whole family that are online. My cousins, sisters, and...

Pros: Free, free, FREE! Keep in touch with the fam.
Cons: possible spam abuse, keep number secret.

I first got turned on to ICQ from my sister, who loves free stuff. As she says... "Free is GOOOOOOD."

ICQ, among other things, is an online messenger service. It actually has many more features than just this, but this is the one...

Pros: Sending messages to those offline as well as those online
Cons: Sometimes a little slow but not too bad.

I have tried a couple different messenger services and I personally like ICQ. Some of the features that I think are great is the fact that you can send messages to your friends when they are offline and they get those messages when they log back into...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: takes a bit of time to learn

ICQ is one of the easiest and most feature packed chat softwares out there today....And you can't bet the price..FREE..I think that after you explore all the features and get comfortable with it that you will love all the little extras that is packed...

Pros: easy to use, fun features, good interface
Cons: abrupt disconnects, bad server?

I had ICQ for at least three years. Although it was an easy to use interface and had some fun features, I got REALLY tired of being knocked off in the middle of a conversation and trying to get back on to find the friend I was talking to so he/she would...

Pros: fast action
Cons: not always working right

Ok I did it I added ICQ to are computer. Now what.. It seems to me that it is easier to email somone than to wait for them to come online.
Here is how it works: You sit on one end and talk to someone else through your keyboard. As they type you...
