Windows live messenger or MSN is the world’s most popular chat client that you can download and use on the web. It has been available in various different guises for around 15 years, and it has slowly developed from a fairly basic communication tool into a fully fledged multimedia delivery system – which we now recognize on a daily basis.
Welcome to Emoticons for MSN!
One of the most powerful aspects of MSN is the ability to share your feelings and emotions using symbols and smileys. Emoticons for MSN were introduced right from the beginning, and were almost a revolution in themselves, replacing the ‘ascii’ emotes that people had been using chat rooms and on IRC before them.
When people started using MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger, they became addicted to the cartoon graphics and the cool emotes that they could now use. Every single chat client that has been released since has been influenced in some way by the original set of MSN emoticons (which themselves may well have been influenced by ICQ and other early technology chat systems). Nowadays it would be completely impossible to develop a chat program without thinking about integrating some sort of graphical user interface and communication pictures.
There are two ways in which you can access emoticons for MSN. The first and simplest is to use the emotions that are preinstalled in the software itself. You can use these representations by using different keystrokes or keypresses within the chat box. The simplest is the smiley face emoticon, or :) (colon, right bracket). Many millions of words have been written about this smiley face, so I will not go into too much detail right now, however I will say that we will be showing you how to access all of the integrated smilies within MSN in due course on this very website. If you need the basics, we will provide a detailed ‘how-to’ guide. If you’re a pro, you’ll be able to directly download packs of emoticons for MSN and install them like clockwork.
