Gmail Emoticons Help To Convey Emotional Content

Google has again improved its Gmail service by providing a bevy of new emoticons for users to insert in their emails. Gmail users now can click on to the emoticon button that sits along the same row with other text editing buttons to insert some funny and related symbols. Just click on this, and users will find a huge drop-down selection of emoticons, icons, and other animations for them to choose from to convey their emotional content in the emails.

Literally, a picture tells a thousand words. An emoticon is always one of the efficacy ways to express the senders’ feelings and emotions. Unlike Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, AOL, etc, Gmail is a bit behind to make this “smiley faces” a key feature. Before this emoticon feature was added into Gmail, users who wanted to add emoticons to their emails need to find their own way, e.g. add and install scripts to Gmail.

This huge selection of emoticons has enhanced Gmail users’ experience tremendously. This colorful and funny emoticon feature currently only works in the latest version of Gmail, and it is available for Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 browsers. Users can upgrade their browser to take advantage of this new feature in the event they want to enjoy it.

    sorry for adding this comment after a short time! I finished saving the gmail emotions in a 27kb zip file.
    But is is legal to use this emotions in my own website?
    we see yahoo or msn or other systems emotions are available in public for download but not google. I’m afraid of breaking any law.
    Thnaks in advance.

    Hi, Do you know how we can save each of this tiny emotions so as to use them in our own website?!
    I tried to save this emotions, but I couldn’t find a better way to download them than typing their URL and save them one by one.
