ICQ (or 'I Seek You') instant messaging service is used by millions
worldwide to make the complicated work of finding friends, colleagues
and people with similar interests, as straightforward as calling across
a room and starting a friendly conversation.
With ICQ Instant Messenger you can video/audio chat, send email, SMS
and wireless-pager messages, as well as transfer files and URLs. If
you're away from your personal
you can still chat with friends and contacts, even where the ICQ client
is not installed, by using the web-based ICQ2Go that works from any
computer.
With ICQ 5 you can customize your ICQ to be exactly
what you need and always up-to-date by adding shortcuts to your
favorite features in order to launch them directly from your ICQ. This
means that you can send your friends & contacts greeting cards and

from your client and/or the message window. In the message window you
can also choose to display your or one of ICQ's unique, animated devils.
