For many people Facebook is an unchangeable part of their lives, and because of this people have begun to recognize Facebook emoticons more and more each day. Many people think that these tiny Facebook chat emoticons are more recognizable than the ones offered by Myspace.

Facebook emoticons

Have you ever wondered where all those character emoticons come from? For example, did you ever wonder what caused Facebook to even introduce pictures into the chatting sessions of their users?

Facebook emoticons

Before Facebook there was Myspace. Five years ago Myspace was the main source for social networking. When myspace first came out it ruined other social networking sites such as friendster and Hi5. The reason being because numbers over power win every time. However myspace did make some mistakes.

The reason myspace became so popular was it gave a way for people to communicate with many friends very easily. People already knew about email and even using MSN chat sessions however with myspace users could combine both photos and chatting and even networking ( meet new people) And that made them the head of the pack. However their were number of problems. Myspace gained many subscribers and thus people began feeling small. Some people wanted to earn as many friends as they could while others wants to comment on others pages to market themselves or even their products. People on myspace wanted something completely different and completely their own.

This is where Facebook comes in. The site was started on the campus of Harvard University so that friends has a way to keep in touch and a way to organize their social calendar. The design of the site was clear and easy to understand. It was simple to use and no one had to question it. Soon the site was opened to the public.

Facebook met the goal of getting users of myspace to use them while still offering the same product with a much simpler system. Facebook also keep tight on their main goal;to make the site easy to use and bring people together online.

Facebook introduced their chat system two year ago. Those who tested it enjoyed its simple and basic look but was worried it was a mistake to add it. Soon people realized the added bells and whistles of other chat programs ( like yahoo and msn ) were really not needed and just added distractions. All they really wanted was a way to communicate with others.

Facebook also knew that people enjoyed using icons and smilies. So they quickly started installing several hidden smilies users could only use when they typed in a certain code. Some people got excited when they found them by accident other knew them right away by looking for list of codes on other websites. Facebook chat emoticons quickly have become a part of the very popular social networks vocabulary.

Facebook quotes – Everyone Needs Ideas Sometimes. Right?

For some time I’ve be searching the internet, hubpages and so many place for funny and creative funny Facebook quotes ideas. I find great joy changing my status on Facebook and getting a laugh each time I do. I try to update my status about 4 times a day.

Facebook quotes

My research

There are tons of websites that offer pages of advice on how to write creative Facebook quotes. I decided to divide each of these ideas into a number of categories. In this article I will discuss three; the special character, statuses with puns or smart gags and more fun and inspiring special characters

Funny Facebook Status Ideas – Example number 1 – Stars and Stripes

Example ★★★★★★★★★★★ I’ve got the stars…. now where are the stripes?

In the USA people become very patriotic after 9/11 and from then on no one was every ashamed to show they cared about their home and the people who defend it for us all year long and beyond. Showing your friends that you care while still getting them to laugh is great. With all the important patriotic holidays it’s a great way to show you really do care. The American is known all over the world even someone who isn’t living in America will know just what you are talking about.

Example Number 2 – Reality Humor

Example : I can’t decide between the “starts tomorrow” diet and the “ see-food” diet… Any Ideas?

Almost everyone has been on a diet at some point in their life… It’s not easy. And like all things in life; humor makes it so much easier. Show the funny side of dieting. This can easily brighten the day of someone who is on a very strict diet due to health or anything.

Example number 3 – The Facebook status hoax

Example: Steve is uploading a virus ████████████ 83%

Because of the many famous YouTube hoax vidoes online that were replaced a few years back; many people enjoy tricking their friends. However I wouldn’t use this on people who are new to computers you might actually confuse them and they may end up very upset.

Now go come up with your own Facebook quotes!

MSN symbols are a new kind of emoticon which is sweeping the internet, and the irony is that it has been available to everyone for many years. These emoticons and special characters are available now to copy and paste into your MSN names, statuses and chats – and the best part is that you don’t need to download them or upload them, just copy and paste.

MSN symbols

What is an MSN symbol? Within the character map of Windows operating systems there are lots of cool letters and characters that you can use to leave messages to other people. These include smileys that represent a wide range of different things, included the regular happy faces, but also things like music note symbols and characters that can express different moods or feelings.

In the past, people who use MSN could simply use the emotes and smilies that were installed on their computers inside the Windows Live Messenger software, so why should we use these types of symbol? The answer is simple. There is a growing move away from the official software that Microsoft provides, and towards online chat services such as Meebo. These services can’t access the emoticons that you have previously uploaded to your client, and so you are stuck with plain old boring icons.

Not any more! Now if you go over to the MSN symbols website you can find a huge number of different types of special alt character, and you are not just limited to chats. You can also put them into your little status bar to pass on further information to your buddies. This info could be the song that you’re listening to (use a music note symbol), what you’re doing (use a chess character) or perhaps where you are right now (with an airplane symbol)!

There are a number of other resources for different social networks on the site, which you can browse at your leisure. These include different fonts, or ways of controlling what you type. One example is a way of getting bold and underline in your Facebook chat boxes. The good thing about the alt codes is that you can also use these icons in your Facebook status and chats!

The possibilities really are endless, so why not try to be creative? You can also combine characters to form larger pictures, and paste them into comments on blogs or put them on your Myspace page. Try out some symbols for MSN now and find your favourite!
