Demoticons! Scramble!

July 01, 2008 By: zenboy Category: Instant Messenger No Comments →

Are you IMing and are trying to convey what you are feeling, but your feelings are too complex for just a simple smiley or frowney face Emoticon? Well Demoticons are your answer! Demoticons are for those mixed states where you really are not sure how you are feeling. Some Demoticons are:

  • ;-\ Wanting to get back together with your abusive ex, but knowing you shouldn’t feel that way demoticon.
  • >:| Disagreeing with a co-worker, but not wanting to say anything to “rock the boat” demoticon.
  • /:> Attracted to a co-worker while discussing business matters. And she’s your boss demoticon.
  • :-[ Silently judging you demoticon.
  • >: ) Looking both pleased and angry, similar to a sarcastic expression, but with more heat demoticon.
  • >: ( Making a business presentation, but really needing to take a dump in the middle of it demoticon.

demoticonMore Demoticons are being created everyday, and some say that a new pictorial language is being developed from the introduction of Emoticons, and now Demoticons. There are even differences in how different nations do emoticons such as the Japanese smiley (done upright, so that you don’t have to tilt your head to the left to read it): (^_^). Demoticons for the Japanese are also being developed for mixed states. The equivalent one for “Giving a presentation, but really needing to make a brown baby is: (*´_`*) being “Both pleased and angry, similar to a sarcastic expression, but with more heat” would be  o(>_< )o and stoned, of course, is (0_0).

Please submit any Demoticons you come up with and we will consider them for a new posting! Yay!

stryke - internet telephony with missilesHave you ever been irritated by that online friend who waits minutes before responding to your Instant Messages? Never fear - YooRYoo is pleased to introduce Stryke. This IM add-on seemlessly integrates with any IM application (Yahoo. MSN, Jabber, iChat, gchat and even good old-fashioned IRC), monitoring IM responses. Any friend who doesn’t respond to your IM within 30 seconds notifies our dedicated team of internet hackers…er, specialists, who bombard their computer with a suite of the latest worms, viruses and trojans.

Stryke also comes with a dashboard application, allowing you an instant global view of all your friends, and their average responses times. We can also track their email responses, and updates on your Facebook wall. Integrating this dashboard, you can launch virtual attacks on the slow-responders in your address book. Mathew Broderick never had such a sophisticated approach to his War Games!

Go pro and get access to our Storming Norton package which uses the Norton Anti-spyware update system to automagically generate a virus which is one step ahead of anything on the net! This subscription service can easily pay for itself when you integrate the “Pay-Pal-Pilfer” add-on.
