What's the big deal about emoticons? I love 'em as much as the next email or messenger addict, but… not to the point where I'm going to pay for a set! Are there really people who buy smilies? Most IM clients come with a good default set, and I've never felt the need to express my emotion with micropayments. Yeah, I can see how they liven up email messages, forum postings, IM programs, et al – for free. Is there an emoticon for “likes to insert free smilies”? [More]
