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.
How does it
work?
It's
simple. 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.
Once you know who's on, all it takes is a click
of an icon to initiate chat, implement URL
transfers, send messages, exchange files, or
launch any external peer-to-peer applications.
