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!

The winking smiley, for example, really tells someone that you’re trying to be cheeky (or that you’r enot being serious when you say something). It can also mean that you want them to notice you (maybe in a sexual way?) too.

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.

Finally, my favourite is the wide smile smiley! On MSN the wide smile is :D 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!
