instant full contact digital face 2 face, like: Instant Messaging or video conferencing (expensive, little meta data).delayed digital interaction (very cheap).temporary physical archiving -> for: high usage reference data (very cheap, fast access, high usage, no/low meta data).permanent physical archiving -> stuff required by law (very expensive).digital archiving (cheap, permanent, steadily growing, low usage, high in meta data).I discovered it when setting up an IF-MS ( Information Flow Management System) policy. Here is a small list that might be usefull to realize. Supports as many users at once as you have bandwidth for. Real-time text-chat (by that, I mean you see what a person is typing as (s) he types it) or, if you prefer, IRC-style chat.User groups (so you can make a group for your friends, a group for your enemies, a group for artichokes, &c).External application support (so you could, for example, start Netmeeting with another user right from ICQ with just a couple clicks).URLs (so you lazy people can just click a button rather than copying a URL to the clipboard and pasting it into your web browser).Invisible list, so you can specify specific people who can not see when you are online.Invisible mode, so others can not see that you are online.Shows when other users on your contact list are online (assuming they are not in invisible mode).Since nobody else could be bothered to list them, here are a few of ICQ's features: AFAIK, you can not store files on an ICQ server. And, even then, files will still be sent directly. Actually, ICQ uses a direct connection between users to send messages, unless you go to the Preferences dialog and specifically tell it that it should send messages through the server.
