Users of Windows Live Messenger will now be able to create emoticons of themselves thanks to a new campaign launched today by Microsoft called "Minimise Me".

Minimise Me (www.minimise-me.com) lets users build and customise their own miniature characters on the new interactive website.

The service gives users access to a variety of colours, resizing and reshaping options, as well as a selection of facial features, hairstyles and accessories that users can choose from to individualise their characters.

These personalised characters can then be uploaded as one-of-a-kind profile pictures onto Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Spaces, Facebook and other social networking sites.

    It's pretty good, but they don't really look that recognisable, just use an icon maker to create your own emoticon from a photo or something, try this http://www.sherv.net/icon-maker/     Posted by TheMAN, US
