Abstract
Embodiments for increasing clarity and expressiveness in network communications include: obtaining a message from a first user as part of a network-enabled conversation with a second user; applying at least one embellishment to the message to produce an embellished message, the embellishment including either an explicitly user-selected embellishment or an automatically generated embellishment based on content of the message; and causing transmission of the embellished message via a network to the second user. Embodiments include: receiving a message from a first user via a network, the message including configuration data for configuring embellishment properties of the message; decoding the configuration data and generating an embellished message with the corresponding embellishment properties, the embellishment properties including either an explicitly user-selected embellishment or an automatically generated embellishment based on content of the message; and displaying the embellished message for the second user as part of a network-enabled conversation with the first user.
