Guide Review - freeSmiley 1.4.0 - Smiley Tool
Being mostly text, email lacks all the nonverbal communication that is going on all the time, adding spice to our conversations. Or is it?
No, there are smileys, these agglomerations of characters looking like faces, :-) for example. There are literally hundreds of them, and choosing the right one isn't always easy. So you end up using :-) for everything. And when somebody else uses a more extravagant version, you wonder what it could mean.
FreeSmiley can help you with both problems. It lets you select the right smiley in seconds and explains the meaning of all the smileys in its database quickly. The database also contains acronyms, but the interface isn't perfect for selecting them.
