My First Emoticons

I remember the first time I saw the smiles in Yahoo Messenger (Y!M). I was fascinated by the funny design. It's incredible how expressive can be such a small square of pixels... I wonder how much work is in such a small and simple icon. About the talent and imagination of the designer (or designers) I have no doubt.

I also remember the time when first hidden emoticons (or special) were launched. How happy I was when I sent the first special smile that none of my friends knew.

You can find now the hidden emoticons at the address: http://messenger.yahoo.com/hiddenemoticons.php

Another funny moment was when I installed some funny and dirty emoticons on my roommate when we were students. It was actually an archive of dirty icons (smiles with dick and other dirty images). I have unpacked that .zip in some Yahoo Messenger folder and those images replaced the regular smilies with the dirty smileys. Every emoticons he saw from that moment was a dirty one :D...

Chatting Programs - Chat Software Clients

The programs that I use for chat and I know are tho following:

  • Yahoo! Messenger - friendly look, fast file transfer, photo sharing, pretty god voice, excellent for webcam chat, nice avatars and funny smiles images. I think it has a bug because some links are not transmitted. (with or without intention :D )
  • Skype - very good for voice chat, not very fast file-send but very stable and less errors.
  • Msn Messenger - old and borring...
  • Google Messenger - I tried to install it some months ago but I had an error and I gave up. Anyway... there are only few users for Google Messenger
  • ICQ - I have never used it
  • mIRC - Shareware IRC Chat client - I haven't used it for 8 years... I think it is for kids
  • Trillian - chat client for several chatting services: Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, etc... I don't like the interface and the mix of the friend's lists. (you can connect with 3 users simultaneous)
