I never really used animating icons or any icons other than =P, =), =(, and =\ until I came to Japan. After I came to Japan, I started putting the little icons into almost every email I write. I think it's just such a strong part of the culture that it feels weird or unfriendly not to do it.

Do phones in the states have animating icons or any icons for that matter? I've been out of the states for awhile now so I'm not really aware of anything going on there these days. =P
