ICQ

The world of instant messaging is ruled by a couple of popular programs. These include Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger and ICQ. More and more people are using these services to communicate with each other. One of these services that it's worth mentioning is ICQ. This simple instant messaging application allows users to chat with their friends and exchange files in the easiest way possible. The program can work in Windows, but there is also a version for Mac and Linux.

Speaking about the Windows version, it includes a simple installation wizard which can be completed with only a few clicks. After running the application, the next thing to do is to add the username and password for the user's ICQ account. In case the user doesn't have an ICQ account, he can easily create one on the program's website.

After completing this step and logging in, one will see a welcome screen which explains every aspect of the program's functionality in full detail. After getting familiarized with the program, the user can start adding friends. Additionally, he can connect his ICQ account with Facebook and can chat with his Facebook friends directly from the program's interface.

Besides that, the interface of ICQ can display various notifications from Gmail or Yahoo, like a new email arrived. One can also add an avatar picture to his account. For this, he can import any image located on the hard disk or he can use his webcam to take a new picture. In case there are a lot of friends in the list, the user can easily find a desired one by using the search tool, which produces real time results.
