Emoticons: Love ’em or hate ’em?

;)

:cↁ

;- Þ

☺

I use them occasionally, but I can’t be accused of abusing them.

Love that pumpkin. Great idea!

I prefer having things that are more clearly a face/expression Skype has its own set, FB has very few, GoComics allows the tech-savvy to use some that are fancy, because I wonder when using ;-P or ;-D if some may think it’s part of a word. The pumpkin is cute and funny tho’. If I were doing a big Halloween I might get one just to do that.

Like that pumpkin! :-D :-) ;-)

I think they are helpful for showing jokes or sarcasm. Its too easy to take things in the wrong context without hearing the voice.

{:-) Okay its fun sometimes!(:-)

[;-)] Frankinstein!

Love some of them

you need them when you’re writing rather than speaking. Lots of times people get the wrong mood out of a sentence without the :-D
