ICQ

ICQ is one of the most popular instant messaging software in the world. It has already as much as 110 million users, which is surely remarkable. Of course, ICQ is not any new software on the IT market. It has accompanied the development of computers and the Internet for many years now, constantly evolving itself, so the newest version of this application is pretty impressive.

ICQ is praised above all for the simple construction, which does not cause any problems to even the beginning users. It allows for contacting with any person on the globe, as long as they have the ICQ account. The friends search engine deserves some additional attention here, since this feature is really user-friendly and effective. The popularity of this application has forced the producers of this IM software to adapt it for not only the Windows systems, but also some other platforms, like Linux, PocketPC or PalmOS, so that the users of those operating systems can also enjoy this application.

Of course, the newest versions of ICQ are not limited to only the classic text chat. Now, this program allows its users to communicate with the use of microphones, so they can hear each other, or even to prepare videoconferences, if they have not only microphones, but also web cameras.

The ICQ users have also many add-ons available, since the popularity of this particular IM software enhances the constant development of additional plug-ins, which improve the functionality of this application. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most ingenious IM software on the IT market.
