It’s a known fact that pictures and animated images can represent a feeling in a more expressive way than words. This is the reason to drive every messenger service to offer emoticons in their chat windows. Most of the time people use emoticons to demonstrate their feelings in a simple way rather than typing it. Besides the default emoticons which are available in messengers, there are also free emoticon applications available. Such applications provide additional interactive audible and animated emoticons for msn, yahoo and other popular messenger services.
