Skype Emoticons - Have You Seen Them All?
Skype messenger is currently one of the most widely used and known software programs.
With its vast range of abilities such as video calling, short messaging system, phone numbers and more, it has taken over the world and, in some way, stolen the fame off the big companies as Microsoft (their MSN messenger) and Yahoo! (theirs too).
Skype is the new mania and is continuously developing.
There is nothing certain about whether it will stop being liked and used as much.
Except for the many services the software offers you as a customer, it also has one of the greatest and most interesting emoticons.
The Skype emoticons are nothing common, nothing normal and nothing usual.
The little images are all animated and able to present almost every single idea, emotion or thought you have.
The question is: Have you seen them all? Everybody knows how to make a smiley face, but do you know how to show The Finger? It is exactly the same rude gesture you think of, yes.
It is done as easily as putting the word "finger" between brackets.
Other interesting icon, for which I personally cannot find an explanation, is Heidy.
Heidy is a squirrel that eats nuts and appears when you put her name between brackets.
Another cool example of the variety of the Skype emoticons are the over 260 flags you can put into your mood, message or that profile of yours.
The Skype emoticons database is always improving and although people aren't that sure when the new "hidden" ones show, they somehow know when there have been updates.
There are even some that appear when you hold down a sequence or combination of letters from your keyboard.
Have you found them? No, they don't appear where you type, but on the place of the pencil you see next to your name while typing.
The team of programmers is as good as this: they have even made several possible ways to get to the Skype emoticons.
You probably haven't noticed that there are at least 7 ways to make the sunglasses smiley? Yes, here they are: 8) 8=) 8- ) B) B=) B-) (cool) and they will all appear as the same cool dude! Now, tell me, isn't this great?! These are almost too many ideas and tries, discussions over the Skype emoticons and their variety.
There are several questions left now.
One of them is how long will it be until we understand that there are other ways to show emotes through this software, another is what more can we learnt to do with it and a third is - Have we seen them all or there are others, still unknown and not researched little images in the universe called Skype Emoticons?
