I've said it before and I'm saying it again: Skype sucks as IM.
Jabber is better.

We use Jabber for our in house communications, I like it.

To only talk to those on Skype seems a bit silly, especially if you are in a sales position. Why not use all the messengers?

I have Skype going, then Adium which pulls in my ICQ, AIM and Jabber.

I'm with you here. I prefer Skype but I'll deal with ICQ if it's the only way to get through to someone.

This. I only hop onto ICQ if someone needs me, or I need to get a hold of someone immediately.

E-mail is what I prefer by far.

SKype is great. ICQ is crap. If you must use ICQ use a different client such as Adium. It keeps you connected with ICQ and MSN friends but without all the ads and extra weight.

I prefer mail. ICQ is ok, some clients want a live chat.
Never using Skype for business, everyone assumes you are free to talk / phone chat and I don't have the time for that.

North American webmasters generally use ICQ while foreign skype. The change is slow but it was the foundation of communication - so it will take another few years before the rest migrate over

Replace ICQ with Trillian... It stable, uses less memory and has pretty cool options... I have been using it for years now without any problems...

lol has nothing to do with stupidity, it's a matter of context and usability.
Of course you're not going to use 'lol' in a PhD thesis but on GFY is more than fine.

Don't be an ICQ hater, at least you can search your history.... Skype sucks for following up on older messages.

Is the adult industry keeping ICQ alive? I don't think anyone else uses ICQ unless they're an adult webmaster.

ICQ is good and does what it's meant to do. No need to switch to any other IM program for this biz.
