YugoRocketsFan Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Anyone use this? Quickly becoming the most popular way of communicating online. As of now 27,520,509 people are online, and I am willing to bet that at least 50 million people use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I used it back in like '06 or '07 when my girlfriend went to Australia, just so that I could see/talk to her for free. But I generally think video chat is creepy... I always feel super awkward when using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I know a ton of people who use it, but I don't. For one I don't know how to use the web cam on my laptop (lol), and secondly, if I want to communicate with someone I will just call/text them. A lot of people like it though, I just don't really see the appeal of video chat, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YugoRocketsFan Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 There's more to it than just video chatting. Text chatting is pretty good, better than MSN/AIM imo, the chatrooms are also cool and very easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted January 20, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 ICQ will always be the GOAT. Even the name is GOAT-worthy (I seek you). Back in the day, those HS girls would stay up until three just talking to you on ICQ (I was a freshmen when it was popular, and we all didn't have our licenses yet), just so their parents wouldn't hear them talking to someone else (ex. if they were using a phone). Beast. And every message you got, there was that "uh oh!" sound. Gonna go fire up ICQ right now, in fact, and see my huge contact list of people that haven't logged on since 1999. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I used it back in like '06 or '07 when my girlfriend went to Australia, just so that I could see/talk to her for free. But I generally think video chat is creepy... I always feel super awkward when using it. Yeah, I agree. I feel really uncomfortable when I'm video chatting cause I usually minimize the chat screen and go on forums and whatever and who knows what type of facial expressions I have putting up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
