What is ICQ?
ICQ is a free communication software application that informs
you who's on-line at any time and enables you to contact them
at will. No longer will you search in vain for friends or associates
on the Net. ICQ does the searching for you, alerting you in
real time when they log on. The need to conduct a directory
search each time you want to communicate with a specific person
is eliminated.
With ICQ free communication software, you can chat, send messages,
files and URL's, play games, or just hang out with your fellow
'Netters' while still surfing the Net.
ICQ lets you choose the mode of communication you wish to employ.
Regardless of the application, be it chat, voice, message board,
data conferencing, file transfer or Internet games, ICQ will
get your entire message across in real time. ICQ supports a
variety of popular Internet applications and serves as a Universal
Platform from which you can launch any peer- to- peer application
(such as Microsoft NetMeeting or Netscape CoolTalk). It can
also be used in a multiple-user mode, so groups can conduct
conferences or just 'hang out' on-line. The free communication
software program runs in the background, taking up minimal memory
and Net resources. While you work with other applications, ICQ
alerts you when friends and associates log in, allowing you
to work efficiently while maintaining a wide range of Internet
functions at your fingertips. Among the functions available
are: chat, message, e-mail, and URL and file transfer.
All these functions are consolidated into one easy-to-use free
communication software program that integrates smoothly into
desktop systems.
