One of the sillier features of MSN/Windows Live Messenger are the winks and animated display pictures. Winks especially can be quite funny and quite a nice way of saying happy birthday or congratulations to someone. Along with dynamic display pictures (which are animated) , they also have a bit of the "wow, how did ya do that?" effect.

Via Mess.be, Kiwee (requires IE) is now offering all of it’s content for free (probably for a limited amount of time). This includes:

• Dynamic Display Pictures which can be customized to your look and which react to the emoticons you use in your instant messages. They animate too!
• Winks some of which you can customize and add your own message. Some of them you can upload your own photos too!
• Custom Emoticons, Backgrounds and Regular Display Pictures – these are normally free to use anyway.

So why not: download a few winks and annoy the hell out of your friends!

P.S. I had to think long and hard about the social implications of this post. I trust that this information will not cause the collapse of civilization as we know it from the amount of junk which is going to be flying around on MSN in the next few days.
