I still use it. Not many people I know use it now. ICQ always was better than MSN.

Signed in 1998, left it in 1999.
Really wasn't my thing. I use skype with friends, much better to talk than write. |

Wow, I used to use that about 10 years ago!
I don't really chat online anyway now, but when I do I use MSN. |

In Russia ICQ protocol is very popular, almost all my friends use it.
But they use as client Miranda IM, Trillian, etc., not the native one. |

I used to use it, but ever since i used my first voice program, IIRC roger wilco, now i only use skype, i agree its much easier to just talk with my friends than to type gibberish.

And QIP... QIP Infium supports OSCAR, XMPP (Jabber), Gtalk (Jabber), LiveJournal (Jabber), Mail.Ru Agent, IRC and XIMSS (SIP). |

When I use a quick chat with friends, I can see that for a few lines written minutes have passed... voice is so much easier for everything. |

Most of my online chatting in the past was IRC, I used to live on one certain server. Still pop on there every now and again.
My chatting now is done with a Transceiver, a length of wire and a callsign

most times ICQ or other IM tools are served to be a way of finding new friends among unkonwn candidate, so it is likely to communicate first by typing words.

It's just about what you are looking for, different tastes.
I don't use IM for the same purpose as yours, finding typing time consuming.
Everyone likes it's own. |

| Ha.. IRC , oh man.. I used to hang on EFNET for years. Those were the days. First started back in 1993/4 in ircbar. I never took to ICQ, I prefer MSN and facebook to keep in touch. Facebook is not as good as it once was since they messed with the apps. |
