To some it is a cute little gestureTo some it is gross exaggeration
To some it is perils of technology
To some it is a soothing touch on mobile screen
To some.......
You like them, hate them but you cannot ignore them. Because yes, they have the power of flashing a smile on your face when you are low, or make you go mad at a friend who purposely sent you one for making you go in rage with angst.Allow me to reinvent the old adage - Emoticons speak louder than words.
People don't use words anymore. From Whatsapp, Viber, Skype to BBM the struggle for finding the best emoticon to fit into our emotional state is on.Feeling feature on Facebook allows a user to add a feeling accompanying an emoticon. For feelings that are not auto-listed, a user can put them up as status and use a suitable emoticon to express one's feeling.
Here is one of those Facebook experiences:
Drop in the comment box your funny, serious, not-so-funny, naive, boring, ...... Emoticon Moment.
Author's Note: While emoticons are creative way of expressing how one feels, sad faced emoticons get my blood boiling. Just the look of it, no matter who sends it.. Arghh!
