The guys over at DS-Play, one of several large DS community sites, have rolled out a PC version of Pictochat. Situated comfortably within your browser window, the program emulates the functions of the built-in DS program, namely sending text messages to others and displaying poorly drawn genitals. In addition, it also lets you save your supposed masterpieces for later viewing. It's not going to make you delete your current IM programs, but it does provide a neat little diversion, especially if your communication and artistic skills aren't hampered by the use of an imprecise mouse and fairly limited tools (you'll get 16 colors and you'll like it).A word of warning, however: The very first crude drawing I was presented with involved uncomfortable bodily functions. These people are everywhere.
[Thanks Daniel!]

Yeh msn does...BUT you cant send text at the same time :) and also can you draw in group chat like this?
The picto-play is part of a bigger scheme at ds-play which includes an art gallery (which will be launched in next 2 days) and that will also allow your art work to go directly into the forums. Pixel-play is the system that will be used, and does offer a grid display and more palettes. It will also be resized to an online decal drawing system.
The comments about genitals are a rarity from what ive seen so far btw.
