Dean - is it your birthday?

Dean6805 says,

No, it's the birthday (per NPR) of the smiley face emoticon. I thought it only appropriate to wish it a happy one here under the Digital Life tab.

Got it!! lol

e.towhee says,

So, exactly how old is the smiley face emoticon?

Dean6805 says,

30!

accidentaltourist says,

My smiley never has a nose. I wonder...was it actually born with one that I ignored, or did it acquire it over time?

Dean6805 says,

According to the bit on NPR, it was born with a hyphen for a nose.

accidentaltourist says,

:) I guess I'm just lazy. Or maybe it's my typesetter/newswriter's nature to save space.

accidentaltourist says,

In six: Read the wiki on emoticons: zzzzzzz.

;)

I hope the smiley face can keep a smile at age 30.
