ICQ 6
Instant messengers have been a craze especially among teenagers since their introduction because they are an exciting medium to remain in touch with friends. These days there are quite a number of instant messengers available and each of them is claiming to be better than other ones. ICQ is one of the oldest instant messaging applications and its distinct feature is the numeric user it provides for each of its users.
ICQ 6 is the latest version of this application and offers some really cool features. The developers of ICQ 6 have thoughtfully reconstructed this Instant Messenger.
But at first glance, it seems the changes were uncalled for. For instance, ICQ now offers 'Tabbed chatting'. It combines all the current discussion in a single window in which one can switch between conversations over small tabs. But can anybody pursue more than three chats simultaneously? However, the 'Quick IM' feature is quite useful. If the cursor is placed over a contact name, ICQ displays all the latest available methods of communications such as messaging, calling and transferring data. This functionality at least saves the user a couple of clicks.
For: Features such as history and Quick IM.
Against: Doesn't allow interaction with Users from other IM Networks.
