IRC, ICQ and message
Hi Experts,
just 2 simple quesitons:
1) any difference between IRC, ICQ, and instant_messaging?
2) if someone used some sort of software and sent out spams, but some recipient email addresses were incorrect, where would those spam emails go? I mean, victims wouldn't get them because of incorrect addresses, the spammer him/herself wouldn't get them coz he forged his/her return address...so in the end, where would these spams go?
Thanks,
KEN

IRC is a place where you just talk to persons.. new or people you know from before, and or if you are looking for discussion rooms, you can find lots of resources there on allmost everything, linux, windows, movies.. music etc etc
icq have this nice feature that you can add your friends in a list, and send them messages instantly, you do not need to look for them, and you see when they are online or offline
IRC can be slow, and sometimes the messages wont reach theire destinations at all, if there is too much lag, or there was a netsplit
some people might look at these programs as potential virus places, but it wont be any problems ifyou have setit up correctly, and or you got a firewall
on IRC everyone can see your IP address

so what about ICQ? can you make a comparison between ICQ, IRC and instant messaging regarding their functionalities? (i mean, it seems they all do the same thing... when should i use this one, and under what circumstance i should consider another one?)
