WOW, I can't believe all the members that ICQ has. my UIN is 141593, so you know how long I have been using the program. The version I started out with was nothing like the version we have today. Today's version has so many options for the user. The...

IQC is a quick and simple way to communicate short messages to friends. I have found it easy to use for anything that doesn't require a lot of text. It's a great way to send website links to friends.

Pros: Absolutely NONE
Cons: Slow messaging system, confusing interface, not for new users

I HATE ICQ, BUT WHY DO OTHER PEOPLE LOVE IT SO

Why do people love ICQ? I can’t stand it. But I do have a theory on why they do like it. I think it is because many of the people who advocate ICQ have been there since its inception....

Pros: Free, easy to use
Cons: Not as many features for Mac users

My dad sent me a link about 2 years ago so we could keep in touch, so I gave it a try. It's easy to use and a great way to chat with people who don't have your same Internet Service Provider. The only down side for me is that I can't get into...

Pros: Chat mode allows more than one person
Cons: Locks up sometimes

I discovered ICQ about a year ago. I use it all the time now to keep in touch with all my friends.
The feature I like best is the chat feature, it lets you chat with more than just one person at a time so you don't have too many screens to keep...

Pros: Millions of users, FREE
Cons: Occasional server problems, and occasional software conflicts

I've had ICQ for quite some time now, and despite some minor software problems and the occasional server glitch, it is probably the best internet chat program available to the general public today. Even if you only use the most basic features, the...

Pros: Rapid Instant Messaging
Cons: Bloated,bulky interface and large memory requirements.

I've used ICQ since it first came out. Back then it was a simple clean interface. Since AOL got their hands on it, it's become bigger, bulkier and buggier.

The current incarnation is ICQ2000a for Windows, which boasts many useless features...

Pros: Great Way to Chat
Cons: Sometimes There are a Few Jerks

I love ICQ. It is the best way to meet new people. It is also a great way to keep in touch with family who live away from me. I have a sister, niece, brother and lots of friends who are all long distant for me to call, but I can just turn on icq and...

Pros: Powerful features
Cons: Not too private

ICQ was the first and still the best Instant Messaging software. I originally stumbled upon ICQ in 1997, and I've loved it since. Nearly all my friends converted around the same time, so finding people to put on my list was not hard at all. Although I do...

Pros: Makes chatting fun and simple!
Cons: occasionally has problems-but what program doesn't?

I have both American Online and ICQ. I have ICQ because when American Online is taking forever I can talk to friends on ICQ. ICQ is so much easier then American Online in my opinion. I love the fact that you can send messages to people even when they are...

Pros: No phone bills!
Cons: Occassional Freaks

Two years ago when I first sign-up with the internet one of my friends recommended ICQ to me. I was at first hesitant not knowing how to use it and scared off all the creeps and freaks that lurk our world. Within a few days I had ICQ working easily. I...
