Gmail has just launched a new set of emoticons.
To activate them, you must have LABS enabled.
From there, click on Enable the “Extra Emoji” as shown below :
I forgot to mention, there are hundreds of them, and most of them are animated!

Great emoticons:P(when will blogs get that 🙂 ), a few months ago I had just created an email id using google apps standard myname@mydomain.com. Can anyone tell if this email will ever expire if my domain gets expired ? 🙂

Il était temps. Mais pffff…Emoticons in a mail is not a striking feature..It’s fun but not as cool as in IM.

@Reena : Gmail releases extra (sometimes experimental) features for users who enabled Labs under their account.
Check out the official page on Gmail Blog.
@Yadhav : Nice question, but I don’t have an answer.

Absolutely hate emoticons, 1-2 is fine, but if someone starts chatting to me on msn with loads of emoticons or emails me with loads of them, that person is going on my block list!
I am not an email expert, but I still think hotmail is better than gmail. I have an a/c on gmail but I never use it, don’t know why I should use it…

@Yadhav: yes the google app account is valid only until the domain is reg on a nameserver. It uses CNAME records of the nameservers. If deleted, your google app email too stop to exist.
