-Icq- |
![]() ![]() If you dont know what icq is then ICQ is a revolutionary, user-friendly Internet tool 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, 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 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 program that integrates smoothly into desktop systems. When you install ICQ, the program asks you to register at a server, which is connected to a broad network of servers spanning the Internet. At the
time of registration, you receive a unique ICQ number,
also known as a UIN (Universal Internet Number). In
addition, ICQ gives you the option of entering personal
information along with your ICQ#. This allows other ICQ
users to recognize you when you log on. Once you've
registered, you can compile a selected list of friends
and associates. ICQ uses this list to find your friends
for you. Meanwhile, ICQ waits quietly in the background
without interrupting any other applications in use. As
soon as you log onto the Internet, ICQ automatically
detects the Internet connection, announces your presence
to the Internet community and alerts you when friends
sign on or off. |
