Facebook emoticons come in many different colours, shapes and varieties. People use them for different reasons, and adding icons and smilies to your chats seems to have been around just as long as chatting with computers. Many people like to discuss and debate which smileys are the best and the coolest – well we have constructed a list of the top six best Facebook emoticons on the planet – and now we want you to check it out and let us know what you think – which one is your favourite Facebook smiley and is it in this list?
Facebook emoticons
The top 6 Facebook emoticons
Number 6 – Facebook angel emoticon – o:)
The beautiful angel is the smiley which makes it into the top six in last place. It is used by a huge number of people to show different emotions and feelings, so it is really the ‘usability’ of this one which puts it so near the top! Girls love to send this one to their boyfriends (or potential boyfriends!) to show them how innocent and pure they are – and boys also like to send it to girls to show their integrity and honesty. Of course, sending an emoticon doesn’t make your trustworthy, but still – it’s good to know that people think it does!
Number 5 – Facebook crying emoticon – :’(
Not all emoticons are positive, and the crying emote is still a cute one to use even though it might have a slightly negative connotation. Most of the time people send crying when they’re not really literally in tears at their keyboard, but maybe they’re just a little unhappy with a situation and want someone else (a friend or lover perhaps) to do something about it. This usually leads to the problem being resolved, and everyone becoming happy – so it’s been included in this list!
Number 4 – Facebook glasses emoticon – 8)
Facebook chat has changed many people from boring to cool – because it’s given them the opportunity to communicate with all of their hundreds of Facebook friends from the past and present in an easy way. The glasses emoticon is a good one to represent these people, as anyone who sits at their screen all day will certainly need glasses in the very near future. It might not be used a lot by the users of Facebook emoticons, but that unique quality is what makes it into this list!
Number 3 – Facebook heart emoticon – <3
The heart emoticon is one which holds so much emotion and feeling that it should have a website set up just for itself! The heart is something that can now be sent electronically to those who you love, to let them know your true feelings – and then you can teach the person you sent it to how to do it so that they can send it back to you. It’s the ultimate in love that can be sent to friends or lovers or even your family members who you couldn’t live without!
Number 2 – Facebook robot emoticon – :|]
Many people who use Facebook (the driving force behind its worldwide success) were born in the 1980s, and so breakdancing was a big part of a lot of their lives. This smiley for Facebook chat sums up the fun and cool factor of ‘breaking’ and lets you put it directly into your online conversations with people. Even though the colour is grey, it clearly is one of the most lively and brilliant emoticons available for you to use!
Number 1 – Facebook kiss emoticon – :*
What do people use Facebook chat for? It’s not to be nasty to people, and it’s not to make fun – generally it’s to stay in touch with people that you care about. And who do you care about more than a lover? Girlfriends and boyfriends around the world use the chat software to keep in touch when they are apart, and the kiss emoticon for Facebook chat is one which says so much in just a tiny little emote. If you have ever been apart from your loved-ones then you know exactly what I mean, and you also know that you need to send them this five times per conversation just to make them feel happy! It’s the best smilie or icon that you can ever send someone who you want to be close to right now – so do it today!
