Template:InfoboxGame Line (or LINE) is a free messaging, VoIP, and social networking application developed by Line Corporation, for mobile devices and personal computers. As well as messaging, the LINE application provides a variety of features integrated into it, such as "official channels" - which provide means for companies such as Nintendo to provide regular updates to users[1], a digital wallet service ("LINE Pay"), a taxi service ("LINE Taxi"), a food delivery service ("LINE Wow"), a service to find and contact doctors ("LINE Doctor"), games, and more.[2] LINE is popular to the point of ubiquity in Japan, and so it and its original characters are very present in its popular culture. The application is also incredibly popular in Taiwan and Thailand.[3]
Stickers
The LINE application features an online shop where users can purchase sets of virtual "stickers" that can be used in the messaging service, sent as their own messages, as well as being usable in some other applications. These stickers feature original characters known as Line Friends, as well as various licensed characters from various elements of popular culture such as anime, manga, and video games, including various Nintendo franchises, such as Splatoon[4]. It is possible for users of LINE to sell their own original stickers on the platform, and receive revenue. Stickers sent on LINE can have animations and sound, with the sound playing when the sticker is received, and when it is tapped on.
