However, most of us do know that a smiley is a little image used in the private messages, wall posts as well as other places where typing is possible. These little images can and do represent the feelings a person has, while typing their message. In the past, one has to make use of a lot of words, making the letters difficult to write. Most of these little images appear after one types a code, sometimes called a shortcut. Sometimes the shortcut is really short - :( or :P - while sometimes is really long.

Facebook makes use of "short" shortcuts and the smiling faces - also called Facebook Emoticons - can be found right in one of the corners in which you compose your private message. The "short" shortcuts look something like this : ) or : P and this term makes one believe that there are some "long(er)" shortcuts as well. In fact there are, they're called codes and they look like this: [[xxxxxx]]. the Xs stand for numbers and letters, and the sequence is actually longer- of about 15 characters. For instance, typing this long code, without the spaces, [[1 711085229 30776 ]] will turn into the face of a troll meme, which is used many times as a smiley as the memes can too represent emotions and facial expressions.Visit http://www.fsmileys.net for Facebook Smileys,Facebook Faces,Facebook Codes,Facebook Symbols and Facebook Memes
