MSN Messenger 6 looks for emotion
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Is there an emoticon to express your sentiment at the unveiling of a new version of an instant messaging product? If none pop to mind, check again. With the launch of the public preview of MSN Messenger Version 6, Microsoft on Wednesday also introduced 30 new emoticons, including animated ones. Users can also turn any image file into an emoticon with the new MSN Messenger version. An icon expressing ecstasy -- or total indifference -- is bound to be available, or can be created.
If undecided, MSN Messenger 6 offers a "Decision Wheel" which users can spin online with a contact to make important decisions such as which emoticon, or which combination of the 150 supported fonts and 16 colors to use.
