Facebook smileys are small smiley faces that people can insert into their Facebook chat conversations to add some cool to them! They’re a new culture, but have become the ‘norm’ for anyone who uses Facebook chat on the biggest website in the world.

Why are Facebook chat smilies not shown?

This is a puzzler that has definitely long puzzled people who enjoy using social networking websites. Why, if there are cool features such as emoticons available, would Facebook not tell people how to use them? The real solution is clear – if you tell users how to paste them you fill up the user interface and make it messy and more hard to read. You also would face a more clogged and less easy to read site – something that FB above all has been trying to get rid of with their site. It totally sets them apart, and makes them special. In fact, it’s a quite realistic take on creating a website.

Tell me which different different Smileys for Facebook are possible?

There are a crazy number of emotions available for people to incorporate, but unfortunately users can’t incorporate them in your Facebook status message or on the walls of other Facebook users. Now, the sole way to see these Smilies for Facebook is to use Facebook’s chat function (which you can locate in the bottom right of your screen, in the new ‘Facebook bar’ that can be seen when you log in to FB).

This here is only a small introduction to smileys, in the future I will tell you a bit more on the subject of the ones that are possible and what to do in order to use them in your chat box!

When I woke up this morning I saw on my friend’s website that there was a new penguin smiley released for Facebook chat! Isn’t that cool? I have been using Facebook chat for some months now (maybe six months) to talk to my friends around the world, and we often have wars using the little smileys – who can put the cutest smiley, who can put the most funny smiley story in a row etc – well now the Facebook chat penguin smiley will be my weapon to destroy them!

It seems like the penguin smiley is the first one that Facebook have revealed which has some relevance towards a movie or film that is not in the 80s. I still think that the Facebook shark emoticon was actually related to the movie Jaws from the 1980s, so what could the Facebook penguin smilie be related to? You guessed it. It’s a Happy Feet emotion! Well I love the movie Happy Feet and the little penguins who are in it, so I will use this one in my chats from now on.

In the future I’m excited about which style of emoticons Facebook will choose to add to their growing list of emoticons, but it seems that they really take their time and develop them before releasing. I think that makes the smileys on Facebook just a tiny bit more special, which is a really good thing overall for the company.

Anyway, I’m going back to bed – if you need more information on the the emoticon, click here -> Penguin smiley Facebook chat!
