Any user of instant messaging programs, such as our own Yahoo!7 Messenger, would be more than familiar with the little faces you can add to your messages. These are called emoticons! They are used to add a little fun or convey emotions in your IM conversations with family and friends.
You can find a full list of emoticons currently available to Yahoo!7 users, here.
But did you know there is also an easter egg inside Yahoo!7 Messenger 9 and 10? That’s right, there are hidden emoticons!

Check out the conversation I was having with Tasla from our Mail team above, using some of the normal and some of the hidden emoticons! See how they liven up our conversation?
Be sure to check out the complete list of hidden emoticons and let us know which one is your favourite!
