If you are one of the millions of people who use AIM on a daily basis to keep in touch with your mates and family, then you’ll appreciate this tip. You know what it’s like, you’re talking with someone and need to get across the fact that you are tired or excited. Typing it out doesn’t do the trick, you need to express yourself in an emoticon. But, the smileys and emoticons you have aren’t exactly inspirational.

Luckily, you can download 10,000 free AIM smileys that means you’ll never be short of an icon to show what you mean.

I’ve tried it, the download is easy, the install is simple and I now have literally thousands of smileys to insert in my emails and chats.
