I practically don't use ICQ anymore, because there are too many problems with alternative IM clients and also there is a big security problem. When I'm chatting with my customers, they sometimes are sending me passwords to their wordpress blogs and even ftp info. I don't this information to be stolen by the new owners of ICQ.
Thus I moved to Jabber which has an ability to encrypt the communication, so the private information is more secure.
You can find my Jabber contacts at

BTW, you can also contact me from your Google Talk account because it also works over a standard Jabber protocol. And of course you can always drop me an email
