ICQ Sucks!!
Omg, I’ve just come across on this… Such a well-known company is providing such a disappointing service! Honestly speaking, once MSN, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, other well-established Web 2.0 stuff ( blah… blah.. blah ) have arisen. We can see a declining stage for some ancient Web 2.0 services, for example, ICQ!
If I’m not mistaken, it’s been about 8 years I last used ICQ. Maybe some of you will recognize other online chatting media like mIRC. In fact, I more sticked to MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger the past few years. It’s because they are providing better services than others, this is indeed true.
Finally, I’ve found out the answer why there will be a declining stage for some services like ICQ. Only 1 thing struck in my mind, customer service! I’ve registered an ICQ account recently ( for some purposes ), you know what? I forgot to jot down my “ICQ NUMBER“! I think it would be fine because most of the time they are providing services like retrieve you password section. Yeah, ICQ provides this service ( I think this is a must have part ). However, it’s totally ridiculous! After I filled up all my info like email, nickname, blah…blah.. It comes out nothing! LOL! What the heck?! I then go to their FAQ section, there are just 3 FAQ Questions…. what the….. ( I was like fainted that time.. :blood vomiting: )
After I got pissed by all this shit…….. I have to re-create a brand new account once again.. Grrrrrr! When I re-creating my second account, I was very impatient as this shit really irritates me a lot!
I wonder why ICQ still has such high page rank at 7……… Speechless…

Probably when lastime when cost of communication still high and there weren’t so many fiber optics, ICQ was the in thing because it ends the era of people communicating through Emails. But everytime you sends a MSG through ICQ you you have to wait, a few seconds for the msg to reach the recipient, and file transferring on ICQ isnt convenient compared to MSN. =)

lol, you’re absolutely right! Just wanna tell you that I got pissed by ICQ, years after years, they should get improvement in their customer service… Otherwise it’s gonna ruin the business.

I stopped using ICQ for about six years. Ever since I started using Instant Messaging software, I always find MSN to be the best one. ICQ is very not user-friendly.
