One icon per mood. Need four hundred.
Collecting hundreds of tiny animated chat icons and switching them constantly to match every passing mood.
The story · 2002
The chat icon was the tiny picture next to your name, and it had to be perfect. There were spinning hearts, dancing cartoon fruit, sleepy moons and angry clouds. Kids saved hundreds into folders sorted by mood. A great new icon spread across a contact list in an hour, then everyone had it.
Switching your icon to a rain cloud was the universal signal for ask me what's wrong, and everyone always did.
