Minimise-Me Creates Customized Emoticons

by Mark Rollins on Jul 23, 2008 at 07:17 AM

Minimise-Me

I like using Instant Messaging, but I rarely use the emoticons that are associated with them.  Of course, we live an age where some refuse to communicate with anything but emoticons. 

If you are one of those people, and are not satisfied with the Mr. Happy Face look of most emoticons, you can now program your own look.  Thanks to a program known as Minimise-Me, a user can customize an emoticon with an interface that is very reminiscent of Nintendo’s Mii Creator. 

Minimise-Me is located on an MSN UK website, and works with Windows Live Messenger.  Not only can users create a custom emoticon, but they have access to emoticons that look like celebrities.  I’m guessing that the Tom Cruise emoticon likes to jump up and down on a couch. 

Once the 300KB installation is run, the new emoticon character will be in Windows Live Messenger dialog until you tell them to leave. 

Man, is it just me, or is everything getting customized these days?  Pretty soon, everyone will have their own unique font.  Of course, I’m willing to bet good money that this is available already.
