Smilies :-)
Thanks to the wonderful smilies of IB, we have people who always express one or the other feeling on their faces every second of the day. Well, the discussion is all about smilies and especially about the smilies on IB. I am not sure if IB has created the smilies all by their own but they do look quite different from what we find on other forums which often lack life. 
- How much do you like to use smileys and which one is your favourite and why? And for what particular and peculiar
reasons do you use them, if any? - Which ones do you like more, image based smileys or text smileys? (Not sure what they are called) [
or :-) ] - What which according to you is the overused and underused smiley on IB? Any theories you would like to propose regarding them?
[ 
? ] - And, coming to your blog, do they have any presence on it? If yes, to what extent and if no, why not? ( I don't allow anyone to move away with a single NO and nothing more
) - What is the plural of smiley? Smileys or Smilies? Google SERP shows both of them!
An ocean of expressions: 
They do
I mean, IMPORTANT questions are not answered.
Didn't mean to be rude
Most used is definite - :P
Tells a lot about me doesn't it! :P
Atleast this smiley helps in making comments which are supposed to be taken lightly (and without the smiley everyone, really everyone, will take it seriously).
especially those who dont have a sense of humor :P ppl so dont understand sarcasm these days; it makes me wanna weep *tears* :P :P
Exactly. waise tu mat bol...who didn't understand sarcasm this morning? ;)
i honestly dont bother opening this emoticon thingy in my indi forum comments and insert smileys all over for two reasons- its a waste of time anddd its a waste of time :P
but sure, i do ':P' soooooo often, it has become my trademark of sorts. i do this tongue out wala smiley everywhere- my blog, gtalk, text messages. so much that my friend once asked me- tera jeebh hamesha bahar kyun rehta hai re? :P
so text smileys for me than the image ones :P
and i like to use smilies where they are relevant :P so my blogposts do have them. one or two :P
text smilys can be entered with the typing flow, I love them much...:)
First choice Second Third
Depends on my mood, though I used to use many smilyes while chatting, but now, I have promised to be matured, so I try to be serious, but nobody likes it...
What matured? I can still sense the child in you... the smiling flower and I so like it very much
Lol, I know, I can't be .
lolDii and matured???.
It's like breaking news, mohi di and matured......! kabhi nahi..
OK Arti, it's nice to be childish, espcecially when traffic police stops, the maximum possible innnnocent face.
Hey I love smileys too.. but obviously as much as Pooja. :-) In fact my major grudge with blogger is that it doesn't allow for those yellow ones. Or does it, and I don't know? They're just so expressive and so very sweet. The yellow ones definitely are for me however I make do with the other ones when I can't get the yellows. BTW - that yawn smiley is the cutest.
Hehehe.
Yeah, Blogger doesn't allow. So Sad.
Agree with your Point.

Well, finally comes a topic when I write a BIG ESSAY.
- I Use Smileys A lot. Hmm All are my FavoriteHow can I discriminate between them?. They will feel sd if I do so. But still I LOVE TO USE . Because its kiddishand makes every SERIOUS stuff look totally not-serious. It also represents Mischevious and Naughty behaviorWhich I'm personified with. So yeah, Just loveeeeeeeeee the smiley.
- Both Both Both. Just Love SmileysWill use them in all the ways. If only it was allowed in our EXAMS. But, I think IMAGE BASED are more nice. I love looking at the smileysCause they are like sooo Cuteand make me SMILEeven though I'm going through a rough time.
- Hmm! Different people overuse different smileys.If you take meI overuse ALL SMILEYS. But I think "" is the overused one here in IB. Underused would be "" Poor "" . My proposal???. Use SMILEYS in all your replies. When it is done, every smiley would get a chance to be FEATUREDAnd none of them would be underused.
- YoYoOfcourse na. Me and My BLOG love smileys. Though I don't use them in all my posts. If it is a POEM or a STORYI don't use smileys. But if is another other thing, like Rambling or some Random Postthe posts would be filled with SMILEYS.
- I really don't know. I Don't Care. But I always use SMILIESnot SMILIES.
Lets see, who dares to COUNT ALL MY SMILEYS.
Ocean of Expressions??? . I think I just Flooded IB
Uff. Its ANOTHER in the 4th Pointnot Another other.
In 5th point I ment SMILEYS the first time I used it
How much time did you take Poo?
She must have wasted a lot of time before the exams spreading smiles, expressions and all that she could!
@Ranjith
Really?So many?
@Arti Deedi
HeheheI didn't know that.
@Mohi Dii
What how much time Di? I took 3-4 mins I guess.
@Ranjith
lol. I got 3 days till my next exam so easily wasting timeBut it just took 3 mins
Only three mins, I would rather take one min. at least to see, which smiley is perfect. . I can use only :) and :( and :))
Practise makes man perfect na Dii?.
Anyways, you belong to those categorry of people Whose words are enough to convey feelings
Poo, you are really great...realized so many things, Gennext so fast...
Me and Great?.
*Faints*
*speechless*
lol Ritvik
lol. He doesn't use IMAGE BASED smileys
Overused smiley - definitely!
Underused smiley -
My fav smiley - it represents me quite well, i feel
Inditalk has the yawn smiley. I think that Renie did not want to make the forum a place for sleeping!
Agree with OVERUSEDBut is not underused. How can I ever let a SMILEY underused?
lol. Leo loves that YAWN smiley.
For lolzz I want =)) that smiley .
Hehehehe
Agree
Where is the smiley princess?
And then there are those who dont need any smileys to convey their emotions. Their words itself are powerful enough
Here.
As Ranjith saidExams going on. Poor me
I think its both Arti Deedi and TF. Leo and DS also.
Their words are enough.
Its for TS and Dhiraj too. They never use smileys in forum replies. Dhiraj used one the other day but never seen TF do that ever. @TF Please use one na... once, pls
Will surprise you someday with a smiley, Arti. I am taking smiley lessons from princess and Leo.
Yush Yush
you forgot me leo?? :P
i enjoy using these yellow faces... and my fav is perhaps----> ... simply because it's a master-key... and i love smiling...
:-) and both are same appealing for me... most overused smiley i guess is ----> [reason- we feel like kids while using it... honestly otherwise for what else?]
I don't find it nice to use them in my blog... but it doesn't mean I don't value them... just that they don't match with the air in my blogs....
cheers!
I agree with the "KID" part.
@Deedi
Lets Rephrase it like A SMILEY A DAY KEEPS DOCTOR AWAY.
TOO MANY SMILEYS A DAY MAKES TF JHI RUN AWAY
lolYou only use ""
You could say that "" is my choice smiley, considering the yawn smiley isn't there
the angel of death :P
