Facebook is undoubtedly one of the most popular social networking website in the world. Facebook connects people, to be in touch and have regular contact with friends. Facebook Chat like other Messenger Services, of course also has Smileys and Emoticons to make our chat more expressive. We can express our feelings and expressions with Emoticons more lively than we usually do by using only Text Message. Here we are displaying the hidden smiley’s /emoticons /emotes that you can use inside your Facebook chats to make them more “colorful!” Just type the text below any particular smiley to show it in your Facebook chat box! For example, if you want to show faces on Facebook chat just type :putnam: in your chat box.

Facebook Smileys and emoticons became very popular in a short while as they were helping to share emotions. The use of Facebook Smileys extended soon to Facebook comments and status updates. So few months before, Facebook had enabled the use of Facebook Smileys in comments. Few weeks before, the Famous Social Network had also introduced Smileys and emoticons into Facebook Status Update as well. The latest feature for sharing what you are doing, rather than describing it, is also making use of Smileys and emoticons in it.

    Thank you for the useful guide on how to express our emotions through Facebook. When you are replying to anyone either through email, texting, or through a social media site, it becomes important sometimes to express what you really mean. I know so many arguments or misunderstandings that begin with just a simple comment. Although no malice was meant, it was read wrongly, on the other end. This useful guide is a great way to make sure that your intentions are read every time.

    I am not a big fan of facebook smileys. I think they need to improve the quality of the smiley. Skype has a good taste when it comes to smiley. I will give it a try, thanks for the tip.
