O.P. Odd 'official' smiley on WLM
A friend of mine discovered some crazy hidden smiley (pretty hidden, heh, I couldn't find any info about this on the web)
It looks like this: ![[Image: wtfkf6.png]](http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/8393/wtfkf6.png)
It has a standard size (like every other official smiley)
The shortcut is "*mod" (without the quotes) (you can test it! tell me if it works... I use the last 8.1.0178.00 French version of WLM)
Odd, isn't it?

Not really, it's just a hidden emoticon which the live team intended to put in..

SCOOP #2: Hidden emoticon in 8.1 for a good cause

One important and worthy change in the just released Windows Live Messenger 8.1, is a new and currently still secret emoticon that will raise money for a good cause when used.
ninemillion emoticons in windows live messenger 8.1
ninemillion.org, a "UN Refugee Agency led campaign to raise awareness and funds for education and sport programs for refugee youth, many of whom are forced to spend years of their young lives away from home with little hope of returning." Microsoft partnered with them and will donate money for every Live search performed at this site until March 31st 2007. They also have special Windows Live Space about the agency and we just learned from Inky that Windows Live Messenger 8.1 is also involved in the fundraising. If you put one of the shortcuts below in your display name, Microsoft will contribute to ninemillion.org every time you start a conversation.

This has yet to be announced officially so we have no idea whether they're already tracking this, but if you already downloaded Windows Live Messenger 8.1.0178 it wouldn't hurt putting of these keyboard shortcuts in your nickname and start chatting  Expect people wondering where you got the new emo from!
It's been two years since a new emoticon was introduced into Messenger, and this is a respectable way to do it! It's a bit like the nickname advertising that exists in China, but in a noble way.
UPDATE: If you right-click someone with the i'm emoticon, you'll see a new menu item called What is i'm that links to a yet unavailable website about the campaign.

Hey! Thank you 
Nice info
(I don't get the right-click menu when I click... Maybe because of the French version) |

It just says What's IM? and redirects you to msn.com. You should be able to see it if you right-click any contact with the  emoticon on their nicks. |

It redirects you to msn.com currently. I think there will be a new webpage for it shortly . |

The offical WLM has just told the world about the emoticon.
But to summarize the blog:
The donation is JUST FOR the users in United States as of the time of this post.
Different codes to get the emoticon support different organizations, listed in their blog post.
Only the 1st code listed will be used for donations. All others would become 'regular' emoticons.
Users will only see in version 8.1, or higher in the future.
