Skype Emoticons

Skype emoticons

Don’t think that this program offers to its users only the possibility to talk on the microphone and to use their webcams, because Skype is also used as a chat program. Of course, Skype doesn’t have the reputation of MSN or of Yahoo Messenger, but in the last few years it started to gain more and more users.
When it comes about Skype emoticons there are many emoticons that have the same shortcuts like the ones that are used on Yahoo Messenger or MSN. I will tell you what emoticons do have in common those 3 chat programs.

The first one is represented by the smile emoticon. You can use this emoticon to show your interlocutors that you are in a good mood or you can use it after they just told you a joke. I’m sure that you already know that this is the oldest emoticon and that it is used in many situations. Its shortcut is represented by :) and you can insert one of the famous smileys in your Skype conversations by typing its shortcut in the chat box.

The second common emoticon is represented by the sad emoticon. People use this emoticon very often when they are upset or when they want to show their friends that they had a bad day. The shortcut for this emoticon is :( and if you want to introduce it in your Skype conversations you just have to type its shortcut in the chat box.

Now that you know what Skype has in common with other chat programs, it’s time for you to know how you can introduce in your conversations Skype hidden emoticons. With a simple search on the Internet you will find all the secret emoticons that you can use to impress your friends or to express your feelings better. Next I will present you some Skype emoticons that can be found in the program.

If you just came back from a great party and you want to tell your interlocutor that you had a great time, you can use the drunk emoticon. Your friend will surely understand that you had fun. You can introduce this emoticon in your conversations by typing (drunk) in the chat box.

If you want to tell your friends that you are smoking or that you want to smoke, you can introduce the smoke smiley in your conversations by typing (smoke) in the chat box.

If you are throwing a pool-party and you want to invite all your friends from Skype, you can send them a message with the text of the invitation and of course with the poolparty hidden emoticon. If you want to introduce this secret emoticon in your text message, you just have to type (poolparty) into the chat box.

But history is history and will stay this way. Future is the one thing that interests us most and in a few months we’ll see if the touch tablet digital trend catches on as this is not the first time tablets hit the market. They did it in convertible form a few years ago but had the big disadvantage of costing a few times more than a regular notebook plus lacked on software support to take advantage of the new input system (an analogy with Windows Mobile operating system comes to my mind now as this is one example of bad OS porting, whiteout adaptation to the new needs).

This year seems things will get straight for touch tablets as there was a big variety of sizes, functions, OSes and hardware platforms on display at CES. We will see for sure segmentation here. I’m betting on large tablets for home use (where you aren’t concerned about size) and smaller cheaper tablets for occasional browsing on the move.

If you like, tablets are something that falls right in between a big screen Smartphone (think iPhone for example) and a small netbook that’s not really comfortable to use on the road unless you have a place to sit and a laptop desk stand to put the gadget on. I believe that actual netbooks can be in danger because tablets cover the same functions netbooks have but at a slimmer footprint and are capable of serious multimedia (thanks to the Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset), things that netbooks don’t do very well.
