Facebook smileys are tiny smiley faces which I like to add to my Facebook chat window to add some fun to them! They’re quite a new addition, but have soon become an everyday thing for anyone who uses the chat function on Facebook on the biggest site for keeping on contact with people in the entire world.

Why are Facebook icons not shown?

This is a puzzler that has surely long puzzled those who enjoy using popular internet sites. Why, if there are options such as smileys available, would the world’s most popular social network not tell the users how to use them? The real solution is clear – if you tell users how to insert them you clutter the UI and make it messy and dirtier. You also would make a more cluttered and less clear website – something that Facebook in particular has been trying to avoid with their site. It sets them apart, and makes them different. In actuality, it’s a very smart take on making a social networking.

Tell me what different different Facebook emoticons are available?

There are many, many emotes available for you to use, but sadly people can’t incorporate them in your Facebook update message or on other Facebookers walls. Right now, the only way to see these Facebook smileys is to use Facebook chat (which you can see in the bottom right of your home page, in the newly unleashed ‘Facebook bar’ that can be seen when you first log in).

This is just a brief introduction to Facebook chat smileys, in a future post I will school you a bit more on the subject of which ones are available and how to get them in your chats!

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.

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?

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.
