Attention teens and the adults that act like them: Facebook has added emoticons to Chaton the web. While before you could use text like :) to create a smile or even :putnam: to show a picture of an early Facebook engineer,now there's little menu of the most common emoticons in the bottom right of any chat window. Just click one to add it to your current instant message. Facebook even made a "thumbs up" emoticon for its Like Button.Now before you laugh and say this isn't news, remember that Facebook Chat connects 900 million+ people across the world. Emoticons can help us overcome language barriers and communicate, even if just basically, with people we couldn't speak to. And Facebook hopes to allow kids under age 13 onto the service eventually, and having emoticons could make the social network seem like it's not just for adults.
