| 30650 | 2002-01-10 20:10:00 | I started using ICQ about 3 years ago and have not had any complaints but have also got in to MSN as many friends and rellies are on it and am now finding that few are on ICQ. so am considering dumping it. Would be interested in hearing comments from other users | Guest (0) | ||
| 30651 | 2002-01-10 20:33:00 | Hi Percy, I am one of those who use almost all of the chat/messenger services. I would agree, unless you are doing a lot of random chats, ICQ can be a bit 'lonely' I wouldn't dump ICQ (keep both of them) and ask your ICQ buddies to join you on MSN. It is pretty easy to get a Hotmail account and to hook up to MSN. Just ask them nicely to change over! Regards, ALAN ;-) |

There are programs about that will let you chat with both MSN and ICQ in the same program (as well as AIM, YAHOO and others), although I hear they still need work... I practically only use ICQ, and occasionally use MSN when I know specifically that someone's gonna be online. I do work for a company in Auckland almost exclusively over ICQ, and find this very adequate, and prefer it to any other personal message system. I find it less intrusive than MSN, and it seems more secure (you can hide email addresses etc. in ICQ, whereas in MSN you need someones email address to add them to your list). |

| 30654 | 2002-01-10 22:45:00 | i'm another user who uses both. icq is my main one because i can send offline messages without useing email and free text messageing:) msn is handy because icq file sharing is a barstard, it wont work through some firewall/router/ics setups while msn will. |
