Introduction to ICQ

ICQ has become one of the most widely used communications programs on the Net. ICQ lets you find your friends online in real time. You can create a Contact List containing only people you want to track, you can send them messages, chat with individuals or groups (similar to IRC), send files, configure ICQ to work with external applications and more. It's an extremely versatile program.

ICQ will run on virtually all computers (All Windows platforms, Mac, Unix). Downloading and setting up the program is simple, with very clear instructions. Oh, one important thing. For you to communicate with your friends, they must also be using ICQ.

ICQ is setup to run in the background while you are connected to the Net. Concerned about privacy? ICQ can take care of that too. You can tell the program to set you as invisible, away, or even tell people that try to contact you that you do not want to be disturbed! If someone you wish to contact is not on the Net, you can send and leave a message for them. Later on when they connect to the Net, ICQ will deliver your message to them.

ICQ is worth having, if for no other reason than it's FREE. You can find all the details about ICQ on their homepage by clicking HERE.
