Will my friends hear a Talking Smiley if I insert it
into my IM window?
Assuming they haven't done so
already, your friends may need to upgrade their version of Smiley Central in
order to hear a Talking Smiley. They will have an opportunity to upgrade their
Smiley Central product the first time that someone sends them a Talking Smiley
during an IM conversation.
Once you and all of your IM
buddies upgrade to the new version, you'll be able to chat with the help of our
Talking Smileys...and hear them during your IM conversations as well!

Can I insert Talking Smileys into my email messages?
No. Since Talking Smileys are
a Flash-based animation, they will not function in an email environment. Talking
Smileys can be used, however, with the most popular Instant Messaging products
-- including AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and Yahoo Instant Messenger.
