Business should everyone switch from icq to skype? - GoFuckYourself.com

Pad · 06-11-2016, 04:25 PM

can everyone here just collectively decide to join the rest of the world in the 21st century?

evidently icq's new update is pissing everyone off e.g. https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...01745-icq.html

i propose that everyone migrates to skype and updates their sigs

if you're being held back by wanting to separate your friends and family skype with the adult industry then you have 2 options to rock a new business-only skype simultaneously via

1. windows users can set a shortcut in their taskbar to

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary

which launches a secondary instance of skype.exe

2. use the new(ish) skype web client at https://web.skype.com

Pad · 06-11-2016, 04:28 PM

imagine a parallel universe in which the adult industry stopped using icq in the year 2000 and then fast forward to today

if we found out everyone in the real estate business was still using aol instant messenger we'd think they were retarded

Bladewire · 06-11-2016, 04:34 PM

I thought people pretty much stopped using ICQ around 2009

This is true except for virtually everyone in the adult industry.
For some reason they shy away from change.

Coup · 06-11-2016, 07:32 PM

People still use chat programs and have friends to talk to?

Spunky · 06-11-2016, 07:55 PM

Most of my contacts still use ICQ.personally I prefer it to skype

Hannes · 06-11-2016, 08:02 PM

Not many people i know use ICQ to be honest here.

Rochard · 06-11-2016, 09:38 PM

I have a six digit ICQ number. Haven't used it in years.

brassmonkey · 06-11-2016, 11:00 PM

google voice is better

plus they give you a free local number

Arnox · 06-12-2016, 12:36 AM

Both ICQ and Skype are poorly-designed UIs that have many bugs and issues. They went for the whole 'minimal' road and both failed to provide a clean, simple interface that does the job.

I only use both because clients do. Personally? I'd pick Telegram as the method of choice. Encrypted, easy to use, clean interface, etc. etc.

scarlettcontent · 06-12-2016, 12:50 AM

I switched 5 years ago

Chosen · 06-12-2016, 12:05 PM

And my reply:

People saying that you do not need ICQ are out of touch with the reality. Especially those saying that you did not need it even years ago...

Colmike9 · 06-12-2016, 12:48 PM

I used to talk with hundreds of people on ICQ, now it's just a handful..
Skype is much better, too. Messages don't just magically disappear and if you need to show someone how to do something, share your screen on Skype. Plus a bunch of other things.

fitzmulti · 06-12-2016, 12:51 PM

I've kept both. It's not really that big of a deal.

DraX · 06-12-2016, 01:02 PM

Using both as well, certain parts of skype are superior though but I still don't feel it's the perfect solution.

ICQ is still in use at my place to keep in contact with certain clients and partners.

adultchatpay · 06-12-2016, 10:55 PM

I prefer skype, but i have tons of contacts still using ICQ so i can't just leave away.

This...

Paul Markham · 06-13-2016, 12:11 AM

I rarely turn ICQ on. If people want me, I will get back to them.

Kernel Team · 06-13-2016, 02:11 AM

Skype is much beter, but hundreds of old clients still used icq, but year after year they become less...

_Richard_ · 06-13-2016, 03:07 AM

few still use it

XMaster · 06-13-2016, 03:12 AM

I'll keep both

j3rkules · 06-13-2016, 03:55 AM

I prefer skype.

Klen · 06-13-2016, 04:41 AM

I preffer skype mainly as that is now communication standard, not just in adult but in mainstream industry as well. ICQ latest client for linux is pretty nice and i love it how you can login to it just by typing your phone number and sent sms code.
But as most of people using skype, i am keeping skype open while icq only when i need to contact someone. And telegram is probably better client then these two, but i dont know anyone who using it so no point to run it at all.

teg0 · 06-13-2016, 05:14 AM

Last year I specifically didn't reach out to a client because he was like "hit me up on icq." I thought to myself "I'm not installing that shit"

You can use it's online version.

yeah, still don't know why some peopl still using icq :S

beavr · 06-14-2016, 08:01 AM

I see more people on Skype than ever

romeo22 · 06-14-2016, 09:33 AM

Skype is my first choice but i use icq if i have to contact someone.

Skype all the way

Nothing. People are lazy and would rather spend the time typing 30 words on an internet forum complaining about it then taking the 15 seconds to install pidgin which runs icq super easy. Oh wait, people don't want to research that shit either.

OY · 06-14-2016, 10:43 AM

Cannot recall last time I turned on ICQ - but this made me curious about how many missed messages I may have gotten since like 2007.... Better find my ICQ number, and hope the email attached to account is one I still use!
