AOL Bridges AIM and ICQ

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the three-letter-acronyms dept.

Checkmate3 writes "Looks like AOL has finally made good on plans to integrate ICQ and AIM... eWeek talks about a new version of ICQ which will allow for users to message across the two networks." I have to agree with the sentiments expressed in the article. I can't remember the last time I used ICQ, or even what my number was.

    That's because AOL added so much bloat that it completely fucked up ICQ. AIM is much leaner and faster!

    ICQ is really a *horridly* written program. Thankfully now I won't have to actually install it to message ICQ users!
