My coworker, Dutch de Rijke pointed this new Microsoft  technology out to me.  I hate it when others get the drop on me but I suppose one can’t get everything. <grin>

"The Conversationator" for MSN Messenger 7.0.0813

The Conversationator is a slideout window in MSN Messenger 7.0.0813  Access it by entering into a conversation with someone, and clicking "Activites –> Conversationator".  They’ll need to accept the Conversationator session, then a window will appear within MSN Messenger.

To be honest, I’m not entirely sure how to describe this thing.  It’s basically a method of transmitting "smileys" via audio.  Instead of typing 🙂 or sending a smiley face, you press a button in the "Conversationator" window to transmit a sound or voice like, "Ha ha ha!" or "Cooool."

Just another form of expression bridged by Microsoft Instant Messaging technologies.
