Make Someones Day, Use a Smiley
Make your forum posts, emails or IMs more exciting with an emoticon. Emoticons are a type of small computer generated graphic that are able to express for you how you feel when you write. Anyone, even those who have never tried before, can use a smiley.
Sending a friend a smiley is a great way to cheer them up. How can they not smile when they see that you are smiling thinking of them?
There are times when words just wont do. A smiley or computer graphic can be the best solution to letting someone know how you feel. Sending hearts or a teddy bear hug graphic is a sure way to let your crush know youre interested.
Another great thing about communicating with emoticons is that you do not risk face to face embarrassment. In the rare case that your crush does not return your feelings (how could she not?), you can save face. If all else fails, you can pretend you hit the wrong button!
There are tons of sites on the Internet that offer smileys and other graphics for free. One of the best places to get these is smileyCentral. They offer over 10,000 different graphics for free. The best part is that these graphics are unique and will not be found anywhere else.
SmileyCentral supports all the popular email and messaging software. You will find specific graphics for use on AIM, MSN IM, Yahoo! IM, ICQ, and Outlook Express. Other places on the web often offer a very small selection of smileys for specific programs; at SmileyCentral there are many to choose from.
SmileyCentral is easy to use. You download a smiley toolbar which is automatically updated with new computer graphics. This way you can search for that special graphic you have been looking for whenever you like.
If you are new to the smiley and emoticon world, you should definitely try them out. Every day there are new graphics added, so you are sure to find hundreds, even thousands, that you love, and will make whatever it is that youre doing, be it emailing, IMing, or forum posting, that much more fun.
