5. Ask Microsoft, no joke... they want the patent rights.

Various organisations have criticised Microsoft for attempting to patent the creation of custom emoticons.

The patent application, which was published by the US Patent Office on Thursday, covers selecting pixels to create an emoticon image, assigning a character sequence to these pixels and reconstructing the emoticon after transmission.

Mark Taylor, the executive director of the Open Source Consortium, said on Friday said this is such a basic concept that he would not have been surprised to see it posted as a fictional patent on a technology site.

"I would have expected to see something like this suggested by one of our more immature community members as a joke on Slashdot, and probably would have chuckled at the absurdity of the notion. We now appear to be living in a world where even the most laughable paranoid fantasies about commercially controlling simple social concepts are being outdone in the real world by well-funded armies of lawyers on behalf of some of the most powerful companies on the planet," said Taylor.

7. It varies

Sometimes a smiley is the only thing in the body of my post.

Sometimes I have a smiley punctuating every sentence or paragraph.

Sometimes I have a smiley only at the beginning or only at the end of a post.

And sometimes I have a slew of smileys throughout the post.

It all depends on the nature of the post.
