How Do I Get Bouncing Emoticons for MSN?
MSN users can stay connected through the MSN Messenger released free of charge by Microsoft. This messenger was initially released in 2001 and, as of 2010, is known as Windows Live Messenger. While allowing person-to-person chatting, the messenger can also be customized with different themes, backgrounds and emoticons. Users who wish to display emotion via smiley-faced icons can use the included emoticons or download their own emoticons that bounce around the chat screen.
