According to the news at Techtree.com :
This year reportedly marks the 25th anniversary of the emoticon, a form of expression that has today become one of the most recognized symbols in digital communication.
First introduced in 1982, the smiley :) and his buddies have religiously added that much needed layer of expression to routine digital conversations. Emoticons have helped people better express themselves in otherwise impersonal conversations.
Jeff Bonforte, vice president, Yahoo! Messenger, said, "Nearly 85 percent of people using Yahoo! Messenger daily rely on emoticons to add color and character to their communication. Our users are the experts, and to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the emoticon, we are asking Yahoo! Messenger users to create the next generation of smiley faces."
Keep Smiling :)
