Emoticons have been around for quite some time already, helping translate what would take a few words or phrases into a simple, graphical representation of what you’re feeling at that point in time. The Chatman transforms virtual reality into an actual face, targeting PC and Mac users who spend plenty of time on Instant Messaging (IM) programs. When connected to your computer, Chatman will inform you on how it feels whenever there is a conversation going on (an invited eavesdropper, so to speak), and plays nice with all major IM platforms including Facebook, MSN, Yahoo and AOL. Chatman comes with a trio of personality options with over 500 actions and over 25 customisable moods.
