How to Add MSN Winks
Windows Live Messenger keeps you in contact with people you know, wherever they are. The service allows you to email, video-call, instant-message and share files. One of the newer features is something called a "wink." A wink is a short animation that you can send to chat buddy. MSN only provides a certain number of default winks, but there is a simple way to download and use custom winks.
