Zlango is an interesting site that basically takes "emoticons" to the next level by making an entire language out of icons and visual representations. Zlango is a universal language for the web and for mobile that is based on picture talk and icon language. Using rich and colorful graphic icons, you can communicate with others without having to use any words!

Amazingly enough, it only takes about 200 icons to convey most daily messages, write songs, or translate books into visually fun and creative experiences. According to the web site, Zlango is an International language that is relevant in any country or culture.

Personally, I think the site is cool to use to send some pretty interesting and enjoyable picture messages to friends and family members! Check out a few below:

From the main site, click on zMess, which is the Zlango message composer which is very cool because you can simply type in your message and Zlango will automatically find the appropriate icon for you and insert it into your message.

If you really start to like this program and want to know the dictionary of words that already have icons for them check here.

You can either email your message to someone or create your own mini-blog on Zlango that your friends and family can check out. You can also embed your messages onto your web site or blog. If you don’t feel like creating your own Zlango message, you can click on eCards and choose from a bunch of pre-created ones that also have audio.

Zlango is definitely a new and fun way to express yourself! It would be nice if something like this could be integrated with IM services like Yahoo, MSN, etc.
