umm. one is a chat room type proggy and the other's an instant messanger. But ICQ can delay send mesages, which is cool.

Trillian owns you.

Generally, ICQ and IRC are my favourite chat locations.

You will find me on server: irc.maxgaming.net port: 6667 channel: #ssx if you're looking for people for a multiplayer game or anything ;)

Never really understood why so many people use mirc, it's not all that advanced and it's shareware.
I like these two clients:
Xchat (http://www.silverex.org/news/)
Visual IRC (http://www.visualirc.net/)

Gaim (http://gaim.sourceforge.net) is useful if you're using multiple IM/chat protocols (I keep an xchat and gaim window open myself, I dislike gaim/trillian style IRC).

EDIT: A note about XChat. The developer packaging the Windows version of XChat has illegally changed the Win-XChat license from GPL to shareware. As a result, the xchat link is to a distributor of unofficial XChat binaries which are free.

In my opinion, ICQ is the first introduction of Whoreware(tm) that I've seen.

Basically, they sold out, and now they're a junk machine full of advertising ****.

Trillian is good if you're needing an ICQ emulato (and everything else, but I hate Trillian, so I'm old-skool using all five programs separately)r.

I myself use AIM and MSN. AIM is the best out of four (ICQ, AIM, YIM, MSN) because even though AOL is infamous for it's **** service, it's kind of surprising that their messanger handles sent/recieved files from your contacts the best (meaning it gives best download/upload speeds).

Quite simply, so many people use mIRC because it's there and it works.

That doesn't require you to register. ;)


Miranda IM (http://www.miranda-im.org/)....better than Trillian in soooo many ways its not funny.  Best of all, it doesn't nag you to get a pro version. ;) (not to mention that Miranda IM actually supports more than 4 IM protocols and has ALOT more functionality)

Trillian for ICQ*

yeah Trillian's great.  for when you get sick of AIM's advertisements and such, and want to use MSN, AIM, and ICQ all in one.

Trillian Pro is great
