WHO'S WHO

ON

IN

Attention New Englanders! Looking to talk to people in your area with similar interests or hobbies....or are you looking to meet people? Sick and tired of all the OTHER cookie-cutter user lists that are too broad, convoluted, and unwieldy...or ones you actually have to *gasp* pay for? Looking for a list with photos? Well look no further! Welcome to the only focused user list of ICQ members for the New England region! Please be advised this list is VERY new, and therefore pretty small. It's up to YOU to change that!

This list, broken down by gender and state, allows you to see profiles of people who use ICQ and live near you! In addition, anyone who adds their info to the list receives a FREE clickable graphic to include in their own homepage, complete with installation instructions! Future additions to this site include a searchable database, so keep this page bookmarked!

What is ICQ?

ICQ is a revolutionary, user-friendly Internet tool that informs you who's on-line at any time and enables you to contact them at will. No longer will you search in vain for friends or associates on the Net. ICQ does the searching for you, alerting you in real time when they log on. The need to conduct a directory search each time you want to communicate with a specific person is eliminated.

With ICQ, you can chat, send messages, files and URL's, play games, or just hang out with your fellow 'Netters' while still surfing the Net.

ICQ lets you choose the mode of communication you wish to employ. Regardless of the application, be it chat, voice, message board, data conferencing, file transfer or Internet games, ICQ will get your entire message across in real time. ICQ supports a variety of popular Internet applications and serves as a Universal Platform from which you can launch any peer- to- peer application (such as Microsoft NetMeeting or Netscape CoolTalk). It can also be used in a multiple-user mode, so groups can conduct conferences or just 'hang out' on-line. The program runs in the background, taking up minimal memory and Net resources. While you work with other applications, ICQ alerts you when friends and associates log in, allowing you to work efficiently while maintaining a wide range of Internet functions at your fingertips. Among the functions available are: chat, message, e-mail, and URL and file transfer.

All these functions are consolidated into one easy-to-use program that integrates smoothly into desktop systems.

How does it work?

It's simple. When you install ICQ, the program asks you to register at a server, which is connected to a broad network of servers spanning the Internet. At the time of registration, you receive a unique ICQ number, also known as a UIN (Universal Internet Number). In addition, ICQ gives you the option of entering personal information along with your ICQ#. This allows other ICQ users to recognize you when you log on. Once you've registered, you can compile a selected list of friends and associates. ICQ uses this list to find your friends for you. Meanwhile, ICQ waits quietly in the background without interrupting any other applications in use. As soon as you log onto the Internet, ICQ automatically detects the Internet connection, announces your presence to the Internet community and alerts you when friends sign on or off.

Once you know who's on, all it takes is a click of an icon to initiate chat, implement URL transfers, send messages, exchange files, or launch any external peer-to-peer applications.
