Now using ICQ anywhere in the world has become a lot easier with browser-based ICQ2go. Login to your account though a browser pop-up window and your friends list is instantly retreived from a central database. Great if you’re behind a firewall or couldn’t be bothered to install another IM.

If you want to run lots of IM’s at the same time, Trillian is everything you need. Connect to ICQ, AOL, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger and IRC in a single interface. Pity it doesn’t include Odigo.
