If we look back at history, we find that long before there were MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger there was ICQ. I was an early adopter (#505447) who long ago traded up for MSN.
It’s taken ICQ quite a long time to catch my attention again but now with it’s new client. The ICQ 7 client brings together your social interactions from across the Web. Instead of having to open a few different pages and applications to get my friends’ status updates on Facebook, to read tweets of my favorite people and to follow what’s happening on other sites as well such as Youtube, Flickr, Digg and Delicious. ICQ 7 allows me to use one personal communication tool. I am able to syndicate my updates to all of my social networks with a single click and get status updates & tweets from all my friends in my networks in one single platform.
For now I’m giving it a trial run. I will let you know if it stays or goes.
