Skype revealed

So you have Skype... a program using both IM (Instant Messaging) and VoIP since 2003... Using Skype you can call someones computer via a landline or have video live chats... And if you don't have a microphone or a camera you can engage in a conference call and reply with the IM feature - brilliant, but what can you do to enhance your Skyping experience?
Well That's what this blog post is all about....

First for the easy stuff ;)

If you wondering why the squirll is named Heidy.... One of the Skype staffs name is Heidy...

Now for the awesome stuff ;)
Being a Mac user I found this... Sorry Windows - I'll update you all when I find the short cut...

Here's how you can find the hidden ones without accessing internet at all. ctrl click on the Skype application in Finder, and click "show package contents." This should have brought up another window. Click "resources" in this window, and from there find the folder entitled "emoticons," then click "animated emoticons." After the second hyphen in each image, there's the name, which can be typed between the parentheses in Skype Chat. This trick (for Mac) reveals every optional emoticon.

Now here's a good link to all the commands I'm currently aware of...
