One thing to make Bitcoin more sociable would be to add a message to a Bitcoin transfer. Since this is not part of the protocol, one could have a standard to interpret the last digits sent in a Bitcoin amount, the Satoshis. The digits are currently hardly ever being used and it costs nothing for the computer to use these. People want to express emotions in the messages on computers, that's where the use of emoticons came from (namely as just simply an interpretation of certain rarely used key combinations).

Therefore I present hereby, Satoshi Codes, the "emoticons" of Bitcoin. You simply add these Satoshis to an amount you are transferring with the following meanings (since Satoshis are currently worth very little it also costs almost nothing):

Satoshi Codes (last 2 digits of Bitcoin amount sent):

00 - (no message)
01 - thank you
02 - to our valued customer/recipient
03 - Please check your mail.
04 - enjoy!/have a nice day
05 - I'm sorry!/Sorry for the delay
06 - Happy Birthday!
07 - For a good friend/friends forever!
08 - hugs & kisses
09 - with Love
