Make Someones Day, Use a Smiley

By Heather Simpson

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.

Adding a smiley to your message is a great way to make the person you are sending it to feel happy. Smiles are infectious, even computer generated ones.

Do you know someone special you just dont know how to tell them how you feel? Send your crush a message with hearts or a kissing emoticon, and they will get your message loud and clear.

Emoticons and smileys can also save you from the uncomfortable embarrassment of trying to say or write to someone how you feel. If your innocent advances are not well received, you can always say you hit the wrong key or were just joking around.

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 also offers tons of user specific graphics. For instance, they offer smileys for AIM, MSN IM, Yahoo! IM, ICQ, and Outlook Express. Sometimes the selection for these can be small and unexciting, so having a whole bunch to choose from can make instant messaging much more fun.

Why not get started by downloading the SmileyCentral smiley center? On your computer you can use the search bar for new graphics whenever you need. New emoticons are added regularly which will be instantly available for you to use.

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.
