you see?!? once set up the synchronizing system, you can synchronize whatever you want! emoticons, chat logs, other things, future implemented things... you just have to find a online space (there are plenty for free)
and if it's done well, it's also easy to understand how it works and how to use it for people... try the addon i meantioned in the first post, it's incredibly easy to understand imo..
i use a reasonable number of custom emoticons, just the ones with a meaning and that make me express better... so, i think it's very useful for many people in that way... when i have to reinstall msn and don't find my abitual emoticons it's a pain (+/-)..
just look at how many people ask to the adium team when the custom emoticons thing will work there too..
