Why does everyone on here use ICQ?
Is it really that much better than say AIM? If so, I'm out of it.

For years, icq was pretty much the industry standard.....aim does suck..yahoo isn't bad...msn is awful....many now use trillian which incorporates all of them into one.

For the noobs.
Before there was AIM, there was ICQ. ICQ was the first standard this industy adopted circa 1997. |

ICQ is the best program when you have undreads of contacts . (trillian is actually).
It's mostly because it's industry standard. Nowdays I talk to a lot of people on aim or msn

I like ICQ for its message history and offline messages.

The reason why its prefered is because unlike the other programs you can leave messages for people when they are not online. Great for business. - Simple. Oh, yah, and it was first. =)

MSN doesn't save message history reliably and fuckin winks and nudges drive me up the wall. So I use that for family only contacts. Yahoo is rife with people randomly chatting asking for webcam shows. ICQ has the most useful privacy functions, secure connections, history keeping, and flawless integration with Trillian. Why change?

Most of the historical big boys started in this biz prior to 2000 and ICQ was 'the shit' back then, and it's stuck ever since... newbies use everything else... PS: and of course to the argument for being able to leave offline messages that get through...

Just probably because lots of ppl use it. Personally, I use both MSN and ICQ quite often.

Yeah, that is something I kind of take for granted. Another thing is that with ICQ I can request authorization, whereas with AIM, if you have not been previously allowed in, you will never get in. |
