Interactive And Interesting Chat With Skype Humoticons

Emoticons are widely used to express our feelings and expressions on text chats. All chat softwares and application supports graphics chats which looks nice and express our feelings. But SKype has moved a step ahead with its new kind of emoticons called Humoticons. Skype has just launched a new Facebook app to make our interaction with our friends more human.

“Given the popularity of the Skype emoticons as a way of sharing your emotions with each other, we’ve developed and introduced a new Facebook app to put a more human spin on these and help you share your gestures and expressions with the world: Skype Humoticons,” Skype announced.

According to Skype, the aim of this app is to provide a better way to show our feelings in chat. Because nothing can replace the look on your face.

Humoticons are nothing but emoticons which will use our face. This new Skype Facebook app allow users to create emoticons images with our real life expression. This app allow users to use Humoticons from the gallery and also allow users to snap their face with web cam and use that snap as humoticons and save on the gallery for the further usage. The resulting Humoticon can be posted on Facebook wall, downloaded or turned into a URL for sharing with friends in chat.

This will be really funny to use our face as smiley. And really this will express our feelings better than the graphical emoticons.

Skype also thinks that 140 words tweet or wall post cannot make our conversation interactive with our friends. We need more better interactive way to interact and enjoy with friends. And this new Humoticons can do it better. Skype said about Facebook and twitter, “140 characters doesn’t equal staying in touch” and “Upgrade from a wall post to a first class conversation.”

Get started creating your own Humoticons at http://www.skypehumoticons.com and bring humanity back into the conversation.
