ICQ

ICQ is free! This is a small and powerful program that tells you whenever your friends are on-line with you, so you can chat and send messages in real time. You need to be online to install this program. ICQ makes it easier to find people online but you can set your security settings to require your authorization for someone to add you to their ICQ list, so stranger's can't monitor your online presence. And you can always add someone to an Ignore list to not receive future messages from them.

You can use several directories to search for friends and family or to meet people with similar interests. ICQ lets you send invitation to join you on ICQ to those with email who aren't yet on ICQ. Each person gets their own identification # that your computer will remember for you.
My ICQ # is 22892559.
To download ICQ go to http://www.icq.com/download/

Use this ICQ panel to see if I'm online right now!

AOL's Instant Messenger and Buddy System!

AOL Instant Messenger is similar to ICQ. Download the free program and you can chat with anyone else on the web in real time. This program offers extra security because only people who know your screen name can send you an instant message. It let's you know when your friends are on-line. You do NOT have to have AOL to use it, but you can chat with all AOL users and anyone else who downloads the program. To download AIM go to http://www.aol.com/aim
