Beaver Falls, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/11/2015 -- Emoticons have been the universal language of many Millenials today. If there are feelings that cannot be expressed by words, the emoticons will fill it. Emoticons have been proven to make every communication be more open to various individuals, in all walks of life, regardless of the social status. And though emoticons experienced great outcry in the previous years as a "smallpox in the internet" as declared by a Seattle Times columnist in 1994, the smiley Facebook emoticons continuously strive to help people win over friends, make a person likeable, and boost their mood.

According to a group of the computer scientist at the Conference on Weblogs and Social Media, a person can be considered highly successful if embracing the emoticon is one of their habits in communicating with other people. This notion can be attributed from the 31 million tweets and half a million post from Facebook that was analyzed by Simo Tchokni of the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. The linguistic status symbols and the textual quirks were cataloged to differentiate the post of people in few social media sites from the reflections of the public. And this simple emoticon, the smiley, was distinguished as one of the status markers that can be compared to a personal assistant online.

A person who uses emoticons that could induce positive vibes more often tends to be famous and influential on social media sites like Twitter, while other studies have revealed that emoticons could be an emotional punch that clarifies what people meant to say in their message. A sad message could be even sadder with a sad emoticon while a cheery message could be livelier with a smiley as shown by a 2007 experiment for emoticons. And since the brain processes emoticons and the human faces the same way, it's not surprising that everyone could get the gist of what a person is feeling with their emoticons.

The three graduate students at the Florida Institute of Technology also saw the benefits of using emoticons in a poorly phrased email. The emoticons managed to bypass the reading rage a person might experience upon reading a poorly written email. If a smiley is added in a message it lessens the sting and gives the conversation a light-hearted tone, which makes emoticons a handy tool in mitigating the cyber aggression and the escalation of conflict a poorly written message could cause.

Yet in the business context, many professionals are still in doubt about the use of smiley in business correspondence. However, in a 2010 experiment adding emoticons to a written criticism could give an impression that there are good intentions behind it than those with no emoticons included. Moreover, a reader who receives a smiley emoticon on their chats considers it a friendly and competent conversational pattern with another person. Thus, seeing smiley emoticons on business email makes the readers trust the sender more.

With the abundance of emoticons that can be downloaded in many sites likes Mogicons.com, it cannot be denied that in some way, emoticons has been very helpful in creating a positive effect on personal interaction, and in perceiving the rich and useful information which is something every individual should be glad about. Yet, this should not be an excuse for not showing professionalism, moderate use of emoticons in every conversation should still be exercised.
