At the time, this style of smiley was still much easier to use then the alternative of having to write out exactly what users were seeing or feeling. The older mobile phones did not have a full keyboard or a touch screen keyboard like what the current Smartphone market has as standard. The keyboards for best selling mobile phone like Motorola Star Tac, was part of the number keys. With most mobile phones, users would have to click through each of the 10 keys to get the letter, number or symbol they want to use. The “predictive text input” for those days was not as intuitive as it is now. Users will have to type the key tied to the letter they want repeatedly and quickly until the letter they want appears.

After the launch of more intuitive smartphones tied to Apple iOS and Android, users now have the luxury of sending MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services). They are now able to send out images instead of the text version. There are unique animated emoticons and smileys available in through apps in the iTunes App Store. Download one today and begin sending your friends 3D smileys and emoji with unique expressions and fun animations. We recommend Gummibuddies for iPhone featuring not only mood emoji, but also fun emoji for your favorite music and movies.

This is why sites like Facebook and MySpace support smileys, also known as emoticons. In the beginning, users would have to make combinations of characters and symbols to create expressions like . People would need to have a little imagination to see what it represents. As this form of expression of using smiley and emoticon became more common and popular, most social network sites, instant messenger programs, and writing software would automatically take these characters/symbols and convert them into graphics of faces showing the expressions. When a users type an emoticon or smiley expression using specific symbol, the program or website they are using will automatically recognizes it and will replace the text with the appropriate graphic.
