    Business should everyone switch from icq to skype?

    can everyone here just collectively decide to join the rest of the world in the 21st century?

    evidently icq's new update is pissing everyone off e.g. http://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...01745-icq.html

    i propose that everyone migrates to skype and updates their sigs

    if you're being held back by wanting to separate your friends and family skype with the adult industry then you have 2 options to rock a new business-only skype simultaneously via

    1. windows users can set a shortcut in their taskbar to
    Code:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary
    which launches a secondary instance of skype.exe

    2. use the new(ish) skype web client at https://web.skype.com

      imagine a parallel universe in which the adult industry stopped using icq in the year 2000 and then fast forward to today

      if we found out everyone in the real estate business was still using aol instant messenger we'd think they were retarded

          I thought people pretty much stopped using ICQ around 2009

              there have been a handful of instances recently where i didn't reach out to someone on this board because their only contact was an icq uin in their sig

              i haven't used icq in 10 years and i'm sure as shit never going to use it again

                  This is true except for virtually everyone in the adult industry.
                  For some reason they shy away from change.

                      People still use chat programs and have friends to talk to?

                                              Both ICQ and Skype are poorly-designed UIs that have many bugs and issues. They went for the whole 'minimal' road and both failed to provide a clean, simple interface that does the job.

                                              I only use both because clients do. Personally? I'd pick Telegram as the method of choice. Encrypted, easy to use, clean interface, etc. etc.

If you do not do business with others, then dropping ICQ if you want is not a big deal. But if you do any business at all with anyone, eliminating ICQ from your arsenal is quite the mistake.

ICQ latest client for linux is pretty nice and i love it how you can login to it just by typing your phone number and sent sms code.
                                                                                                                  But as most of people using skype, i am keeping skype open while icq only when i need to contact someone. And telegram is probably better client then these two, but i dont know anyone who using it so no point to run it at all.

People are lazy and would rather spend the time typing 30 words on an internet forum complaining about it then taking the 15 seconds to install pidgin which runs icq super easy. Oh wait, people don't want to research that shit either.

Better find my ICQ number, and hope the email attached to account is one I still use!
