Skype has long been a solid business communications tool, and Microsoft has done a great job of beefing up the infrastructure and adding in solid collaboration features since purchasing the messaging solution in 2011. That’s great for the enterprise, of course, but one could argue that Microsoft’s done relatively little to make Skype into the kind of fun social messaging tool that the cool kids like to use.

Apparently, the Skype team agrees, and sothey’ve announced Skype Mojis, which take the concept of emoticons to another level entirely. In short, Mojis are hand-curated TV and movie clips that can be accessed from the emoticon button. Feel like you need a little creativity in your chatting? Grab a Moji and, as Microsoft says, let it “do the talking for you.”Here’s Kermit and Miss Piggy providing a quick overview of Skype Mojis:Update to the latest Skype client on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS, and you’ll have access to snippets from a variety of studios including Universal Studios, Disney Muppets, BBC, and others.Despicable Me,Bridesmaids,Pitch Perfect,Jurassic Park, andThe Muppetsare a few examples of what’s in store, and Microsoft promises to keep things fresh with new and unique content.The company is asking for feedback at theSkype Community, andgo hereif you need to update your app to start titillating your contacts with Skype Mojis.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
