who knew skype has secret emoticons

Yeah, I think they've had them for a number of months at least, although I have been staying away from it lately due to not wanting to support a program that has intentional backdoors built it.

Which intentional backdoors? I think I might have missed that one? Though I suppose many larger communication platforms will have back-doors (intentional or not..)

If anyone is interested there are actually more "secret" Skype emoticons that can be found below -

There is also some explanation behind how some of them came about, always interesting to get an insight into such things.

Better stop using computers connected to most forms of electronic communication then! (unless you can be 100% certain about either the the integrity of the network or the software on the machines that are connected to it )

I think even if you are sure of the network integrity and secure software there is also the hardware to consider! Best way to stay secure - live in a forest and live Ray Mears style!

Reminds me of the good old days of MSN messaging. Thanks for the info.

It reminds me of MSN too, aww how these days of carefree IM'ing after school are long gone!
