ICQ

Pros: Reliable instant messaging, chat, file transferring, and useful tool
Cons: Takes up space

ICQ, what more can i say? For years now, i have relied on ICQ for all my web purposes. Whether it be instant messaging other dedicated users on my ICQ list, or transfering files between each other for a much more easier job than AIM could ever do, or...

Pros: Excellent chatting service
Cons: Occasional connection problems.

My mother got me hooked on ICQ just about 4 or 5 years ago, and ever since then I HAVE BEEN AN ICQ JUNKIE! I have gone through quite a few versions of ICQ, and each has had more and more addicting features. The latest version I have is the 2000a. Some...

Pros: FREE, FAST, MANY features
Cons: The network sometimes goes down, but hardly ever, thats about the only con I think of.

ICQ is a program that allows you to chat with your friends while online. Now it's not voice chat, it's mostly text, but you can send a voice message if you want to. Best of all, ICQ is free to download and use. No surveys, no gay 10 dollar fee,...

Pros: real time chat, convenient
Cons: random chat, spam

I am part of a dying breed of chatters who used to logon to "telnet" chats, which are similar to IRC chats, but much better. Anyhow, ICQ is the best thing I have found since then.

ICQ has several menu and event options that make it...

Pros: Excellent for holding chats or getting in touch with friends.
Cons: Sometimes, you get forwards from strangers.

AOL Instant messenger? Yahoo? MSN? Are these good chat programs? Well, each one has its high points, but ICQ is definitely my favorite. It's easy to locate your friends by searching their database. There are several options for communication, like chat...

Pros: free and fast
Cons: my first account was EVIL!!!!

I've had ICQ for two years now and my thoughts about it are mixed. Icq is a quality instant messenger that has many many many people on it and had many great chatting features. It is also slow, annoying, and doesn't like me.

Like AOL Instant...

Pros: instant messages, checks other e-mail accounts
Cons: a little computer skill is helpful

With ICQ, you can get your message to me any time, anywhere. Whether it is by actually using ICQ to send me an instant message, a file or a page, or if it's sending me an e-mail, you can get it to me here. I can tell when my friends are online, and I...

Pros: Easy to Use, Convenient
Cons: Easy tool for hackers

ICQ (I Seek You)is a nifty little messaging program with more features than you'd find with AOL Instant messenger or Microsoft's messenger. After a small download at either www.mirabalis.com or www.icq.com, you are guided through a few easy steps in the...

Pros: It's great for keeping in touch with your friends!
Cons: lots of users who use letters instead of words (like my heading above!:))

I have been an avid ICQ user for the past couple of years. Over the years, they have added many, many, many new features (a lot of which I have not even used). I use it to chat with all of my friends, upload files to them, and to find new people to chat...

Pros: Best IM out there.
Cons: Lots of bloat. No progress in years.

Hmm.. I figure everyone needs to read another one!

I like ICQ. I have been using it for 3 years or so now. In my opinion, it was better back when it first came out than it is now. When it first came out, it was a cool tool that allowed its...

Pros: Best communication system offering video phone/ conference calls/ chat and instant messages all for FREE.
Cons: Silly chain letters are easy to pass around.

I love finding a friend only a click away!! Isolation is no longer a problem for anyone with a modem and a quick download from Mirabilis.com

I have had ICQ for three years. Have met my best friend online and she only lived 25 miles from me...

Pros: lots of users, lots of functions, fun
Cons: people who don't have it.

I was pushed into loading this on my computer. I already had AOL Messanger, Virtual Chat, Yahoo Messanger and I didn't see the need for one more place to check for friends. But, one of my best friends refused to chat with me on any of those. So,...

Pros: Chat around the globe with no long distance charges
Cons: Difficult to get up and running

ICQ, the incredibly popular messaging and chat application, is a great way to keep in touch with anyone, anywhere in the world; there are literally millions of users around the globe who are members, and it's really easy to sign up. The part that's not...

Pros: Keeps you in touch with friends and family all over
Cons: too many bugs in the system for me

I just recently uninstalled icq from my computer. I never had a problem with it until they started trying to "improve" it. The features they are designing and coming out with are great, if only they could get everything working right. It's a...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

I first got this program in 1997 and it is the best thing I ever downloaded. Most of my 20 friends on my aol instant messenger are on icq and since icq is easier to use I practically stopped using aim. ICQ makes a noise and flashes a little face at the...
