How do organise your ICQ??
 

I have no idea hwo half of these people are or what they do. How do you keep it straight?

I'm with you....

I just delete anyone that i haven't talked to in over 6 months.

I pretty much know who everyone is and if I dont I just delete them. If they want me theyll message me. I keep "online" and "offline" contacts seperate.

lol..... I was thinking about this the other day

I have 173 contacts online and I know who about 8 of them are :1orglaugh

I change the names of each person in my list so I know who they are. It helps down the road if you don't talk to them for a while.

i rename them.

example: from GFY
traffic broker

that way i know exactly who's who.

rename is cool. the only thing I do now is keep all logs. But I lost my hard drive and that was one of the things that went so now it is "who are you?" type of thing.

LL Webmasters
TGP Webmasters
Designers
.....
Old/Unkown

If I haven't dealt with someone for a long time or forgot who they are, I move them to Old/Unkown. Keeps everything nice, neat and manageable :)

ok this caused me to push a few buttons and now I see I can have different folders. That will help tons.

I have groups..

one is Webmasters

whenever I add someone, I rename them...

Say their name is John but their alias is InternetN00b and say they work for Topbucks

I rename them to 'Topbucks-John' and put them in the Webmaster group.

same guidelines with TGP or whatever, eg. TheHun-Patrick

I don't, never have

I got tons of folders !

i have one list "default" and "active" and whoever I talk to is on active everyone else is in default and most of them I forgot who they are

thing that does me in when you go to add someone new and they are already there and you're like asking them so when did I talk to you ?

I keep them in order of importance...

Mines just a cluster fuck of names. One day I will organize it.

I used to group people by who they worked for. This worked good for the first two years, until people starting moving around. Then I couldn't find anyone because I had to remember who they used to work for. Now I just keep everyone in one section and rename them to something I can remember.

I recently had to delete some people so I can add new ones.

I do have one person named "asshole" and I'm not too sure who it is.
