[Sites] More updates from the Silverfoxes Resource Page

Where Silverfoxes congregate
  • Gray and Gay - Contains favorite haunts by silverfoxes all over the world.
Where Silverfoxes congregate online
  • Silverfox Mailing List - Mailing list subscribed to by silverfoxes and their admirers. Friendly list to ask for help on ANY matter (I think!).
  • Yahoo Messenger - An instant messaging (IM) service created by Yahoo (you need to apply for a Yahoo account which is free). Simple to use and supports video chats if you have a webcam.
  • ICQ - Another very popular instant messaging software. Has hundreds of millions of subscribers. It's not very usable as it contains TOO MANY UNECESSARY FEATURES in my opinion. However, it does have a very simple and straightforward web equivalent at this LINK.
  • AOL Instant Messaging (AIM) - Another popular instant messaging software from AOL. No, it doesn't require you to have an AOL account. Lots of users.
  • MSN Messenger - IM from Microsoft. Simple and straightforward. Very usable. I must admit I have not been using this but it was very user-friendly.
  • ICUII - You need to PAY for this videochat software. It's an online community evolving around picture messaging and video chats. The software allows you to send quick messages (i.e. webcam photo snapshots/audio/video clips with text messages) to others. It has gay channels (called directories) that includes one for gay seniors! Large user base (in the hundreds to a thousand during peak hours). Just be aware that a good number of users and in for online quickies. It has also recently incorporated the ability to send messages to popular IMs like Yahoo messenger, MSN messenger, AIM and ICQ.
  • ISPQ - Another popular PAY videochat software. Has gay communities as well but not a dedicated silverfox channel unlike ICUII. Has hundreds of users during peak hours. The user-interface isn't very user-friendly though. Can be rather sleazy at times too like ICUII.

Just thought I'd mention that GrayGay.com contains much more than just the GrayGay Guide to places for mature gay men and admirers worldwide. It also has the latest news plus extensive links and reviews including dating sites, books, movies, gay retirement homes, travel advice, cruising, events and more.
