Another cool feature that I loved is that you can add these smileys to your email and social networks such as Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, AIM Mail, Google Gmail, MySpace and more. I actually tested it out myself to see how easy it was and in just minutes, I was able to insert and send an awesome email from my Hotmail to a friend.
