Skype or ICQ?

Which one do you use the most? I think everyone should move to Skype. ICQ is pretty old and crappy compared to it.

I love the Skype chat setup, but no one uses it. Encryption is a cool benefit none of the others have that I'm aware of.

in the uk, a mobile firm (3 mobile) has started to sell skpe mobile phones.

You pay £10 per month (about $20), and can phone anyone on skype as much as you want.

I am tepted to get this.

when I get my wireless headset with mic for christmas, I'm going to start using skype again.

ICQ does the job though and no matter what I wouldn't be able to replace it with skype, I'd use both.

for lack of a "both" option, I voted ICQ

Skype by far, but still use ICQ.

Like the conferencing system on Skype and spend a few hours a day on that - plus it has the usual "text chat" with the ability to paste complete documents in one hit - unlike ICQ

Yep. Would be cool to use it if others did.
Just seems no one else uses it.
In terms of the encryption, I am sure governments already broke it.
More of a convince and ease of use.

ICQ. I don't have to listen to drunk or stoned idiots rambling for hours. I can just alt-tab away and do work while they keep themselves amused.

Final Bump. We have about 30&#37; of people on the thread that prefer Skype over ICQ and I feel that about 40-50% use Skype but rather use ICQ because a lot of people still use ICQ.
