New MSN Messenger fuels rivalry against AOL | |
|

| Time: 08:13 EST/13:13 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

AOL Time Warner subsidiary America Online, the current market leader, has so far refused to open its networks to IM rivals, creating a patchwork of competing fiefdoms. | ||

| I would like to there to be interoperibility as well. I'm getting sick of all these messaging devices. I like ICQ which I had since it was originally in devlopment in 96/97. |

| One thing I have noticed is ICQ is getting more complicated with each release. Personally, I liked ICQ 98 the best. |
