One Facebook emoticon that is a real classic, however, and the one that is my favourite is definitely the love heart. You can not get a symbol that is more classical and heart warming than the faithful red heart. Sometimes when I’m using Facebook chat I’ll also use the kiss emoticon to tell my girlfriend or her sister that I love them, but mostly I stick to keeping in touch with workmates or other colleagues online.

I used to wear glasses myself, so I am also quite touched by the fact that there is an emoticon with a man wearing glasses! And not just shades, I mean real glasses! So cool. I hope they will release some new Facebook emoticons soon so that i can add them to my collection!

Los emoticonos son todos de alta calidad y son diferentes temas. Uno de ellos es un hombre con bigote, otro es alguien llorando, es una de una persona escuchando un reproductor de MP3 (caritas que es perfecto para cuando quieres decirle a alguien que está ocupado) y no hay otro, pero se me olvida lo que era.

De todos modos ver el nuevo sitio web emoticones gratis ahora!

Well, someone has finally done it! I’ve never seen such a large list of Yahoo messenger emoticons (that is probably why Yahoo didn’t include them in the original chat program, because the emotes list is so long!). Anyway, the hidden emoticons are pretty impressive – for example:

Yahoo messenger emoticons

Alien emoticon – there are actually two alien emoticons included in the Yahoo secret emoticons list. One of them takes over another guy’s body (it’s a bit weird, you have to look at it to understand) and there’s also a green blob.

Animals – there are Yahoo monkey emoticons, cow emoticons, even a chicken! Great for budding farmers everywhere…

Cool emotions – there are some great emotion emoticons like one where the guy is wagging his finger and one where he’s putting his fingers in his ears. Pretty funny if you ask me.

So here’s the link, enjoy the Yahoo messenger emoticons!

I guess it’s better than people calling her jaws! Maybe a better name for the new Facebook shark emoticon should be the Jaws emoticon? Maybe…

Anyway, I wonder what other new emoticons will be out soon? Maybe a ghost? Or some sort of special Christmas emoticons! I would love some holiday emoticons which I would be able to send to my family and friends…Please Facebook!

Ok I’m going to watch some TV (and maybe talk to my new friends on Facebook chat), so here we go again. Talk to you later (I’m going to see my Facebook shark emoticon)!

Facebook shark emoticon

So I was playing around with my keyboard trying to make some special faces on Facebook chat (I really like cute eyes like ^^ ) and I did one too many and found the shark smiley! Pretty cool huh? My girlfriend (I was chatting with her at the time) was really impressed with it. She said it reminded her of the Jaws emoticon for Facebook (I explained to her that it must be the shark emoticon for MSN and not Facebook, but she just laughed).

Anyway I’m going to play with the new Facebook shark emoticon now!

The sunglasses or ‘cool’ emoticon is unique, because it can tell people that either you are feeling good, or they are looking good. I’m not convinced which one is the default meaning for the cool smiley, but I tend to use it infrequently so i think that it probably means something special.

Chat smileys

Finally, my favourite is the wide smile smiley! On MSN the wide smile is and it has become my ‘default’ smile. In fact, the normal smiley on MSN and Yahoo Chat is kind of weak compared to the big mouth guy. I only ever use the small mouth smiley if I want the person to think that I am smiling but NOT very enthusiastic! Weird huh? I’ll check in more later on and talk about my other favourite chat smileys!

What do they all have in common? Chat emticons of course! They’re a way of communicating with other people, without having to find the exact word or phrase every time. Sometimes I like to have whole conversations with my friends and ONLY use emoticons!

I first started using emoticons when I was 16. We used AOL at home (my mum got it free from her job at a bank) so we would log on and use their AIM chat program. It was revolutionary! I remember some early chatroom software also used emoticons, but chat slowly died out to be replaced with IM. I think that chat might have been a bit too dangerous or something. Anyway, instant messengers were the future, and emoticons changed with them.

MSN is the world leader in chat, and their emoticons are known all over the world. The wink, the shades guy…all of them are completely synonymous with chatting. Facebook chat has recently brought in a lot of emoticons, but I’m not sure whether they will take off because of their ease of use. We’ll see.

Anyway, I hope I can keep you informed about chat emoticons and smileys – we’ll see!
