    Why does everyone here use ICQ? AIM is so much better.

    What the title says. I was just curious. Seems like the majority of business on here is done through ICQ. Is there an advantage to it over AIM? AIM seems like a much better messenger service.

    I like aim a lot better myself. I use it so long as the other party also uses it.

        I primarily use ICQ, but I also run AIM, MSN & Y!

        I like ICQ most, no particular reason

                              Yep, I use ICQ because it is the business standard in this industry.

                              I use AIm, yahoo, and MSN messenger. Mostly business contacts in ICQ (and I love the history feature)

                                You can ICQ people with AIM, and you can AIM people with ICQ too. I like AIM better myself.

                                    I like ICQ because you can leave people messages, and everybody has it. I use AIM too for personal things, I'd rather not do business on AIM.

                                        Because when I do business I like to have a history of what was said. Besides...just about everyone in the industry is on ICQ. I use Trillian myself.

                                            I got ICQ and AIM. Doesn't bother me what I use but I don't really fancy having 10 chat windows opened when talking to people who message me every day

                                            Where as with ICQ I can message and then the window disappears and I don't need to bother coz I got history

                                                    Puh-lease, it's not even close. ICQ so so many more features that AIM doesn't have including message history and invisible mode, plus it supports multiple simultaneous file sends which AOL IM cannot do. Not to mention most adult webmaster use ICQ and that alone would be reason enough to use it even if the situation was reversed.
