ICQ




I Seek You

A user-friendly Internet program that tells you when other users are online and lets you communicate with them IRT. ICQ searches the Net and alerts you when friends or colleagues who also use ICQ sign on. With ICQ, you can chat, send messages, swap URLs, exchange files, play games, or just hang out as fellow netizens surfing the Web. ICQ lets you communicate regardless of the application you choose, be it chat, voice, message board, data conferencing, file transfer, or Internet games, and it supports a variety of popular Internet applications. It serves as a universal platform from which you can launch any P2P application (such as CoolTalk). It can also be used in a multiple-user mode, so groups can conduct conferences. The program runs in the background and takes up minimal memory and Net resources.
