I see this little USB toy when browsing
Tech Digest. It glows and flaps it's wings when a contact signs in and when you get a message. You can program it to make a specific gesture. It also responds to emoticons, for example when you type a love heart
in a conversation, its head will glow and flap it's wings, lol.
Anyway, just thought I'd post in case anyone was interested
.
Buy from Firebox.
