For the past 2 weeks or so I've seen an increase of people on my contacts list adding "add my ICQ #6765765 GET ICQ!" to there nicks.

Today I got about 10 people on my list that are now using ICQ. Some say they switched because of Msn's problems with Messenger and the service. They also say they want it for back up, incase Messenger goes down.

I've heard and I don't know if it's true but people I know that have had ICQ in the past say it's just about the worst IM out there. It loads you with spy ware and plus when you uninstall it it crashes your computer. I've heard this form many people I know and I think out of about the 10 or so people I've heard this form only 1 or 2 like ICQ. So why get it?

I know I wouldn’t switch to ICQ. Would you?

Nope, I had it, it laged, it got delted...

I use it to add people i want to talk to whom i dont trust. I olny add People to my MSN when I know them personaly. People go asking me why I olny have 26 People on my contact list, I tell em, those are all the people I personaly know, the rest of my internet buddies go to ICQ and Yahoo.

Just use Trillian.

it actually looks pretty nice, i personally havent used it, so i dontknow the behavior of the program. It seems like a user-friendly interface, but im too used to msn messenger to go switching around so easily...


Edit: Im using it right now, and its nice i like it

ICQ makes funneh noises. Teehee

Thats ICQ 98/99 your talking about.
you should try ICQ 4. most of the features Yahoo! and MSN are adding now are just old compared to ICQ. IMO ICQ has a better search engine and the best spam filter.

WEll i had Icq peice of crap msn laggy aim pretty ok using it now trillen WEllk i have every messeger i'm picky

Well whoop dee do about a spam filter, I don't get spam because I don't sign up for crap.

Ex. Doggy ad filed sites with sypware I don't sign up with.

And search engines?! Bah! Who needs more search engines we got enough! Google pleases me quite well. I don't need another.
