As the name implies, ICQ or 'I Seek You' is simply a way of getting in touch with people and friends.

ICQ makes it easy to find people with similar interests across the globe, to establish new friendships, to communicate with colleagues, family members and friends no matter when or where they are.

And once friendships and connections have been established you just need to go online to get in contact without the geographic and time related limitations of the offline world.

The most popular method of communication on ICQ is instant messaging, enabling you to send a message that immediately pops up on an online contact's screen. But there's a lot more to ICQ than that.

With ICQ Instant Messenger you can video/audio chat, send email, SMS and wireless-pager messages, as well as transfer files and URLs. If you're away from your personal computer you can still chat with friends and contacts, even where the ICQ client is not installed, by using the web-based ICQ2Go that works from any computer.

With ICQ 4 you can customize your ICQ to be exactly what you need and always up-to-date by adding shortcuts to your favorite features in order to launch them directly from your ICQ. This means that you can send your friends & contacts greeting cards and invitations to games, multi chats, video sessions, and more directly from your client and/or the message window. In the message window you can also choose to display your photo or one of ICQ's unique, animated devils.

ICQphone incorporates IP telephony functions enabling you to engage in PC-to-PC and PC-to-phone calls. Used in multiple-user mode, groups can conduct conferences or play games with ICQ. In fact, ICQ supports a variety of popular Internet applications and serves as a Universal Platform from which you can launch peer-to-peer applications.

Basically ICQ brings together the most widely used methods of communication in the simplest way.

ICQ is licensed as freeware and is therefore free to download, use and keep.
