- drclau 4y agoRegarding a), I seem to remember that Yahoo Messenger had animated stickers _with audio_. I recall they had a pack with Madonna's (the artist) voice/songs. I just don't recall when exactly that was, but I think it was ~2005. Edit: I just found this: https://www.madonna.com/news/title/madonna-audibles-now-available-on-yahoo-messenger https://www.madonna.com/news/title/madonna-audibles-now-avai...
