It would be great if there were an add-on or additional downloadable sets of emoticons to expand the set of emoticons that currently exist.

Useful example would be to show photo based on what project or responsibilitites you are working on that week/month. On the lighter side, you could click to change the photo MOOD for the day, or even for the current conversation. Example, while discussing... more »
