ICQ

Pros: Free, loaded with options, fun
Cons: Typical miscommunications of online chat

I was ready to ditch ICQ after using it on my old Mac. I would get one message and it would freeze, forcing me to reboot. However, my friends all loved it, and once I got my new PC last year I reconsidered.

I now must say that ICQ is the...

Pros: Easy to use, completely free, and has many features
Cons: Isn't as popular as should be

ICQ is quick, compact, and has many more feature than AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) will ever have. I have been a die hard fan of online chatting for many years and this is the most comprehensive online messenger program I have ever used.

...

Pros: Does the job
Cons: Too complicated

ICQ, one of the first major instant message services (after AOL's instant messenger), offers a valuable service to members. However, it can be very complicated to use! I find that, although I will never pay money for AOL's browser again, their...

Pros: kewl skins, the uh oh's are cute
Cons: totally dysfunctional

I downloaded ICQ because I was told it was a great way to chat to friends online. Boy oh boy, was my friend ever wrong. At first I thought the "uh oh's" here and there were cute, I thought ICQ plus was kind of cool and everything seemed to...

Pros: Useful and widely used
Cons: none that I can think of

ICQ is a Wonderful Instant messenger program. I enjoy chatting with friends from college that have moved away. I can also chat with family members that live on the other side of the country. Phone calls get expensive, so chatting threw ICQ is easier....

Pros: Awesome communication tool
Cons: Broadcast feature

I have used ICQ now for a little over a year, and I just LOVE it! When I first downloaded it, I was very new to the internet, and I had no idea that anything like this existed! Then a friend of mine told me about it, and recommended that I...

Pros: easy to use, great interface, nice software
Cons: can be a bit buggy

I signed up for ICQ back in the day. Actually, it was in 1997, but who's counting? Since then, I haven't been able to use any other messaging system with as much enthusiasm because I find ICQ has everything I want. Its easy to use, pleasant to look at...

Pros: Easy and understandable
Cons: Upgrading all the time.

I personally have met many many wonderful friends online. People in other states, and even countries. From across the oceans I have friends, all because of this computer technology. I used to have AOL instant messanger but I found all sorts of problems...

Pros: ICQ can be a fun experience.
Cons: But also can be a terrifying occasion.

I am writing my review on ICQ Instant Messenger Service. I have had ICQ since about the beginning of November 1999. I think that it is an easy way to talk to friends and family while searching the web for all types of things at the same time. It is...

Pros: Easy to use, lots of extra functions
Cons: Get too many messages at one time, you might be talking all night!!

I've had ICQ for about three years now, and I've seen it go through many changes....all good. ICQ is a chat program, but it's more; it's a way to communicate very quickly and easily, and unlike some other similar programs (AOL Instant Messenger, and MSN...

Pros: free, easy and reliable.
Cons: --

ICQ is one of the most reliable and stable programs running on my system. It's easy to use, and, unlike chat or email, it respects your privacy!

It's free to sign up, and easy. You can have any screen name you want, since the program is...

Pros: Easy program to use, fun sound catalog, interesting chat partners

ICQ is fun for a day when you don't have anything else to do, but bring your patience.

I've been an ICQ user for nearly a year now, and while I find the setup logical and easy to use, the sound catalogs fun, and the other users fun to talk to,...

Pros: File transfer, chat rooms, search tools
Cons: Instant messages need improving

ICQ is certainly one of the best ways to keep in touch with friends. It supports file transfer which is important. You can send or receive files from anybody anywhere. You can open a chat room if you want to chat with more than one person at the time....

Pros: Easy to comprehend and work with.
Cons: Large file to download. Takes a while for dial-up users to download.

ICQ is presumably one of the largest online chat services on the internet today. With so many users on the network, how can someone not like it? With ICQ, you can easily message other members on the network, whether they be friends, family, or...

Pros: Many features, millions of users
Cons: none

ICQ was one of the first chat programs and they are still by far one of the best. Many others have come along and tried to mimmick what the people at mirabilis created, but in my opinion, none have come that close.

The first thing to look at...
