Facebook starts testing emoticons

Posted in , ,   with  No comments    

A look at emoticons on Facebook.Facebook users can go beyond simply updating their status and start expressing themselves with emoticons in a new update.
Facebook last night rolled out what it's calling "a really small test" across its Web site and mobile app that lets users express how they're feeling in a moment with emoticons.
Facebook provided CNET with screenshots of the emoticon feature in action. When users access their status-update box, they'll find a new question asking what they are "doing." Upon choosing that, a host of main options will be displayed, like "feeling," "watching," "reading," "drinking," or "eating." Upon choosing one of those options, they can again drill down to provide more detail. So, for example, if they're feeling happy, they would choose that option after picking "feeling."
For now, Facebook is remaining tight-lipped on the feature, The company's spokesperson wouldn't say when or even if the feature would be rolled out network-wide at some point in the future.
