My computer hasn't got ICQ installed and I am even not allowed to install it. Is it still possible for me to use ICQ? The answer is "YES"
A new service called ICQ Webbie is now provided by ICQ Corp, which allows the users to access the ICQ service through their browsers. Actually, I just think that ICQ Corp. is forced to give such service. Try this new service at the address below:
Basically, ICQ Webbie is java applet. So in order to use this service, your browser must support java. Besides ICQ Webbie, there are several similar services. One example is CityICQ which is maintained by students of City University of Hong Kong. However, you should be cautious about the security when you use such non-official services.
