never had an icq account but number is in my aol sign in

Emails vanish, the system breaks (on any flavor be it Hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail), the in-mail search just doesn't work, the TOS for all of them is just plain creepy, and the whole cloud thing is just a complete piece of crap. With email I tried several times to put trust and faith that webmail would work the same way POP does.

It is best-of-breed in every way mainly due to the fact they're one of the longest lasting IM services in existence. It's a bit comicalĪIM, contrary to what people think, is a rock-solid IM service with a rock-solid client.

I won't delete my account, but I may just post to AIM Lifestream and my Facebook account from now on because at least I know they aren't going to can you just for posting a link periodically. That's a nice crap sandwich Twitter just pooped out.Īt this point I don't give a crap about Twitter anymore and I might stop using it altogether. This means if I post a YouTube link (which I do often on Twitter), I can get my account suspended for it. The powers that be over at Twitter decided that people are linking to other web sites way too much in that system and are hosing accounts left and right because of it. It will chat (obviously), post to AIM Lifestream, Twitter and Facebook - all in one shot. Why the sudden interest in AIM again? It's because of AIM 7 which is the most ass-kickingest AIM I've ever used. (hence the 3), but it's really short at only 5 characters, really easy to remember and it was available so I grabbed it. Yes it uses that stupid 'change a vowel with a number' b.s. And if you're wondering how I ever came up with that name, it's an anagram of my real name. I have an old AIM account, but I've never liked the name because it sounds too 'dark' to me. I tried, repeat, tried to get people to IM me using my email address as my screen name but only one person I know actually did that. And I'm fairly certain the interoperability between ICQ and AIM accounts will come to a grinding halt in short order because of that. AOL is very close to dumping ICQ because of their breakup with Time Warner. I've had my fun with ICQ but I think it's time to put that to bed. Fortunately Microsoft does offer free POP access to all Hotmail accounts, MSN included. For the people sending to my MSN account, don't worry, I'll still receive your mail. I silently switched back to my main email address a few weeks or a month or so ago (can't remember the time span exactly but who cares).

There's a few things I've been doing per my communication stuff.
