@tschfflr@fediscience.org I still miss the animated emoticons in GTalk aka Google Talk. Apart from yellowish bubble style and rectangle style emoticons, there were upright typeface style emoticons. You just typed e.g. }:-) and it tilted 90° to the right and its "horns" turned red. https://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/05/google-talk-gadget-with-emoticons.html?m=1
