i love yahoo messenger a LOT more! they have pc to pc calling, free voicemail, stealth settings (you can look invisable to some people but visable to everyone..love that feature!), and they also have Archieves/History. and it never fails or goes down, unlike icq.Comment

Personnally I find ICQ more stable than any other IM program.
And by posting an ICQ number, you don't have friggin' email sniffers that pickup your adress and spam you with stupid spammail for years to comeskype: lordofthecameltoeComment

Actually, I find Yahoo Messenger to be way crappier than ICQ, for a number of reasons. ICQ logs are much more easily accessible, whereas you have to dig hard for your Yahoo Messenger ones. Also, Yahoo Messenger loses way more offline messages than ICQ does, in addition to being laggy and overall buggy, most of the time. Sure, ICQ could be better, but I really find it to be the least crappy of the lot.Originally posted by Babagirlsdont know.

if you don't like the ICQ client, you could always use TrillianI cannot play golf, tennis or bridge.

I use it through trillian but even when I just used it on its own I preferred it for buisness because its history files worked the best. It became popular becase at one point it was what was available and by the time the others became popular everyone was already on icq.Comment

It's all about the history for me, and less spam than on other IM tools.
At the same time, I do also use AIM, Yahoo, and MSN to keep in touch with mainstream clients who get a little wrinkle on their brow when I mention ICQ.
