ICQ – get connected Why is everybody using ICQ? What’s good about it? Doesn’t e-mail gets the job done? I managed to convinced all my friends to join ICQ, including those in my office, there must some good about this popular software. ICQ is useful both for work and for fun. The concept is easy. It is a software that tells you who is online, and you are able to send short messages to that person immediately. The receiving end will hear a sound and a flashing icon to indicates incoming message. He then could reply immediately as well. This makes ICQ really useful for short immediate messages. Immediate is the main weakness of e-mail. For fun, you could “talk” to friends thousands of miles a part. For work, you could send message to colleagues to inform meeting starts in 5 minutes. The use of ICQ is sooo wide. So, if the world is online do I see the whole world? Nope, you see only those people you choose to see. If you add your friend to your list, you’ll see him when he is online, and vice versa. For privacy, you could choose to go into invisible mode where you see others but not them seeing you. If you need to send a message, you invisibility will be removed at the receiving end. Such neat feature makes ICQ product and fun, yet not disturbing. Download at www.icq.com Good luck.

- 09/07/00 I downloaded some hilarious background sounds from the ICQ site. Burping and more, so when I had a contact I'd crack up laughing. A great choice and very funny indeed. |
