Lesson on how to use ICQ for business.

02-01-2006, 06:02 AM

Just a quick tutorial on how to use ICQ for business.

1. Not everyone is glued to their fucking keyboard, some of us have models to shoot or tea to make. Don't assume if it says we are there we actually are. We might be busy.

2. If no one comes straight back with a reply to your "HI are you around". Leave a fucking message if it's important, if it's not WTF are you bothering me for a chat????

You can leave me a message, regarding what you want to talk to me about. When I get back to the computer I can answer it and if you're there we can carry on, if not no problem you have my reply and you reply and we carry on from there.

How hard is that?

OK I got that off my chest I will go back to being my usual happy self.

lesson on how to use icq #2

if you are busy or not available at the moment enable the "NOT AVAILABLE" or "AWAY" flower so that everybody can see that you are not there.

good point Paul ..

number # 3 .. if all your using ICQ for is small talk ... Ask how bussy the other person is, before going on and on about how your cat stepped in poop ... Would't want the "how can I help you" reply to hurt you and your dear kitty's feelings

"away" gets enabled after a few minutes inactivity anyway

I don't use ICQ anymore.

"AWAY" automatically comes up if I'm not at the computer after 5 minutes. After about 15 it goes to N/A extended away.

I could be in the middle of doing something important on my computer, so even if it has the green online flower I could be busy.

Don't advertise icq support if you're too busy to provide it.

Being N/A or Away doesn't mean anything, webmasters will still message. And not all ICQ's set auto away / na messages. Mine doesn't.

It's fine to ask if the person is around, if they don't answer just leave the message. Then nobody has to play ICQ tag.

Yeah I hate the "hi" post. It's like people who come over to your house unexpected and you're like...I wish you would have called first and they say..."I did call you."

You're like.."You did, I didn't get the message."

"Oh, I didn't leave one. I hate those machines."

sometimes people have cats that like to jump up on the keyboard and knock you off of away mode. Many times I'm not around and my cat is. Don't think I am ignoring you (also, this seems like it could be a great excuse) lmao

Another useful tip is:

- when you ask for authorization, describe who you are and what you want.

camon man... you haven`t answered in the last 5 seconds? WHere are you? Are you ignoring me? What are you doing? How's the weather over there today? Did you do your groceries? I've got this hangnail, its really bothering me. Have you ever had a hangnail too? Over here the sky is blue, what color is it where you live? Don't you just hate ICQ spam? A/S/L? I sale short ICQs.

Couple of things to keep in mind folks: don't pass passwords over ICQ/AIM unless you are 110% sure your encrypted. Even then I wouldn't, because the person that you are sending to may A: not be who you think it is, and B: be rooted out the door anyway. Always call.

Me personally, I don't do 'business' via ICQ. I do it via mail or phone. ICQ/AIM/MSN/Jabber/Yahoo/et al can all lose your messages in transit. As we've all seen the results of here a few times....

I found a pretty good setup.
I always have ICQ running, always on invisible.
I always answer messages, if I get just "Hi, you there" messages, it might take a few days, depends on what I'm doing and if I forget to reply or not, if I get a request/question about something, I answer right away when I'm at the computer.

I guess that when ICQ was new, there was the novelty value and people weren't getting buried in messages. But now between the people who never show as online and the ones who always do (setup so they never display "away" or "n/a") you haven't a clue what is their real status, so no way to know if someone is ignoring you or if ICQ has screwed up again.

Anyway, it has gone from being one of favorite tools to something I never switch on unless I am asked. People who are easy to get hold of on ICQ usually handle their emails well too (and vice versa), and least with email it's easy to glance through my sent box and see who I'm waiting on.
