- Aarlos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14More emoticons aren't necessarily a good thing.
- sterntastic223, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Uhm...google chat, for people who work, is a lifesaver...because AIM/ichat is blocked
- thejuicer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I use google chat
and I would prefer if they left those tacky yellow emoticons out of it.
Of course, it's not exactly up to me to decide. - qeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12What I like very much about Google Talk and Google Chat is the lack of emoticons. Please don't change it.
- Jaq524, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I love GMail chat. I would, however, much appreciate an extension that eliminates emoticons entirely. I hate it when I'm talking math homework with someone and it starts inserting frowning faces in equations.
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I hope you all enjoy my creation. :)
- rm999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This seems obvious, but I haven't seen it said anywhere else - this essentially requires both sides to have the same extension, right? I think the odds of this happening are so low that this article should not be front-paged.
- hiPpymIck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4 ..............dont get so emoticonal ................
- jonahatan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yeah, it has emoticons, but well... fairly i think that they're the least annoying emoticons (i know)...
even better would be no emoticons at all or something like the colored text as in google talk, of course.
well, that was another bury-article from me... there's no need for emoticons, i love the google chat for being clean and formal, not for fancy useless chit-chat.. - qeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2TomRitchford: Maybe you're right, I actually don't use Google Chat (I'm a regular Google Talk user), but anyway I don't think adding more emoticons is a cool idea.
- sheared, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Not very good unless the person you're chatting with has this installed too. Otherwise, they just get some funny looking text.
- TomRitchford, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm glad you like Google Chat but it has had emoticons since it launched...
- PostalBean, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Who the ***** cares about emoticons other than prepubescent girls.
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I didn't really make it. Just coincidental that we have the same name. Very common name hehe.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Not really. What I appreciate about Gmail chat is the _lack_ of emoticons.
- jimbojw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah - it's a really common name. Check out jimwilson.com for more.
BTW - I did write this extension. Here's the project homepage: http://jimbojw.com/wiki/index.php?title=GTalk_Emoticons - jonahatan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1can't read, my brains hurt!!
- teret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is it possible to use external emoticons, for example those created with http://www.mywlm.com ?
- troublemaker, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4***** EMOTICONS.
- silverbolt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The faces actually look really angry in that set.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2people use Google chat?
- myszkin, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2god damn all the idiotic emoticons
- hello2usir, on 10/12/2007, -10/+6Die in a fire
- orangery, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3we don't need emoticons and I don't give a ***** about God.
- imatard, on 10/12/2007, -5/+01) emote icons suck
2) its a ffox plug in which means you have to use ffox to handle your gtalk stuff which is definitely not the preferred method
3) Google stuff is always 1000x better because it is 1000x simpler than the other *****.
Get trillian if you want emote icons, they have 900, and many more packs that you can use to extend it. - drjekelmrhyde, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Dont you dare talk bad about google on digg dont you know most diggers worship GOOGLE more than they do GOD

- 311chaos, on 10/12/2007, -19/+5Google has a chat? Wait, what is google talk? Weird.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -22/+3who uses google chat anyways? Its nothing but annoying in gmail...I wish they would just can the whole project.
