Hi Mark,

thanks for posting my "icon-language" website..

So - maybe you are also interested in my new as-if-book: www.icon-message.com

It's a language with amimated icons, small enough to fit into the MSN Messenger.

The good news: This Messenger it's also possible to type woman+ and get the icon, to type happy+ and get the icon ... and so on.

The bad news: Not a single mobile, or e-mail client has (as far as I know) similar features.


Best regards
Jochen

As a matter of fact...I am indeed interested. Thanks for contacting me Jochen.
