Free Smileys

We are glad to announce a major expansion of mysmiley.net over the next two months! We are adding over 2,000 new smileys so many that we have decided to bulk up our MSN emoticons and add them to a whole new site! To start this roll-out we have already added a new section: Check out our brand new AIM smileys!

I'd also like to thank everybody who has been supporting mysmiley for so long now! I've had dozens of e-mails about our smileys and I've seen them in use all over the Internet! I've been busy lately, but I'll be adding more smileys again this weekend! Thanks everybody!

The "smiley face" - yellow button with smile and two dots for eyes, was first created by a chap called Harvey Bell. He was a freelance artist and it was his creation that inspired all these smileys and msn emoticons. Earlier smileys were simply made with ASCII characters such as :-) Strangely enough, someone actually has been credited for "inventing" - well first using these characters! Scitt Falham made the original proposal that the now widely used :-) face should "be used for joke markers".

Love them or hate them, smileys add a more human element to the very brittle communications media, that is instant messaging. So liven up your MSN, AIM or Yahoo and get some smileys now!

Thanks, enjoy your visit.
