Nickelodeon Online plans to debut an animated messaging product named NickMail Maker on Nick.com. The kid-friendly product is basically a hybrid of e-mail, instant messenger, and animation
applications, while allows tikes to communicate with one another "imaginatively." To create unique messages, NickMail Maker includes an age-appropriate dictionary with over 7,500 words. Kids can also
pick from a variety of pictures including characters from Nick's The Fairly OddParents or other Nick shows, sounds, and backgrounds--some static and some animated--to add more visual elements to their
messages.
