When I first started using Facebook chat, it was really fun because the emotions that they have installed are really cool and clever. What happened when I used my mobile phone to access the service, however, was that I couldn’t use the same smilies because my handset didn’t support them! They did support chat symbols though!

Now I use these chat symbols every day, and I especially like using the music note in my MSN status to tell everyone what I’m listening to at a special time. I also use Twitter quite a lot to keep track of my online friends, and so more and more I use cool special characters in my tweets to show off to people online. I’m not sure if Twitter will ever introduced real emoticons of their own, but until they do I will have these ones handy!

If you know of any good chat symbols then please leave them in the comments section here so that anyone who stumbles across this blog will be able to read them and see for themselves how fun they are!

I love penguins, I have for some time. Ever since I saw the movie called ‘Happy Feet’ I have been in love with the little black and white guys with the big hearts – they are always kind to each other and always seem to enjoy sliding around and having fun. This is very similar to how I use Facebook, so the Facebook penguin emote will be one of my new lifesavers!

Will the shark be unhappy? I don’t mean to sound crazy, but up until now I think that the shark emoticon on Facebook has been very happy as the #1 most cool emoticon on the entire site, but right now there is some stuff competition. I will still use the shark smilie but it will probably be less and less as I fall in love with the little penguin!

That’s all from me today, I’m going back to chat with my friends and use my new Facebook chat penguin emoticon!
