ICQ offers the best service but I think ICQ is the uglyest program ever created.

I find ICQ the worst. I just can't stand the design, it's too damn complicated for what it's used for.:|

Augh - people are voting for AIM? How could you hate AIM (other than the fact that it has the AOL name on it)???

ICQ is the worst for me. Its way too bloated. I prefer my AIM, so much simpler and smaller to run.

I personally dislike ICQ, Too much spamming. I mean common you enter your email address and within 5min get porno links.

I'll have to choose AIM

I think ICQ is the best. It has been for me, at least.

Yahoo is no doubt the worst. Why would you even bother voting ICQ? Yahoo is UTTER CRAP.

Voted for Yahoo. So bad I'm ashamed to say I had it on my PC once.

My favorite is AIM. Yeah, it's AOL, it's the work of the devil, blah blah blah. I don't care, it's works well.

I hate Yahoo as well.


I must admit that I use AIM and like it. It's pretty damn reliable, plus everybody that I know uses it so I'm kinda stuck with it.

I use AIM just cause people I know use it, I don't like how the windows stay open and clutter my desktop (though others love that for some reason). And I like ICQ's history and the ability to send offline messages. I guess I really didn't vote for the crappiest one huh? Oh well.

Since i only use two of them, I would prefer AIM or ICQ. Never had MSN or Yahoo. Never saw the need.

ICQ is bloated? Fire up some ICQ98a and you'll be set. I can't stand 99 and I'm sure 2000 is worst. 99 takes longer to load and takes more system resources for all the crap they have in it. Some of the clones for BeOS and Linux are best since they have just the simple, useful things like messages, files, info. I have ICQ98 saved on hard drive in case anyone wants it, PM me.
