How to write a Press Release
One of the exciting challenges to communicate on the Internet and be impressive or just 'Show off' is through the Language flow of signs. These are symbols to convey the expressions in emails, chat rooms, messaging programs,etc. They are composed of several keyboard characters which you can use and express your emotions. How did this Smileys, emoticons and computer jargon language start?

Kidsfreesouls is thankful to Don for sending us officially the Unofficial Guide of Smiley
Faq for our Readers. Emoticons were first suggested by Scott Fahlman, Carnegie

as time flew and use of Smileys caught on quickly and spread throughout the world of
Online communication in E-mails, Message Boards, Chat Rooms, Messengers, etc.
