Sending a friend a smiley is a great way to cheer them up. How can they not smile when they see that you are smiling thinking of them?

There are times when words just wont do. A smiley or computer graphic can be the best solution to letting someone know how you feel. Sending hearts or a teddy bear hug graphic is a sure way to let your crush know youre interested.

If you do not get the response you want back from your crush, you can just say you hit the wrong button or were just playing. Smiles and emoticons save you from the embarrassment of having to explain your feelings face to face.

There are too many places on the internet that offer the same emoticons and graphics. SmileyCentral is a great place to find unique and new graphics for you to use. They have over 100,000 for you to choose from for free.

SmileyCentral also offers tons of user specific graphics. For instance, they offer smileys for AIM, MSN IM, Yahoo! IM, ICQ, and Outlook Express. Sometimes the selection for these can be small and unexciting, so having a whole bunch to choose from can make instant messaging much more fun.

SmileyCentral is easy to use. You download a smiley toolbar which is automatically updated with new computer graphics. This way you can search for that special graphic you have been looking for whenever you like.

If you are new to the smiley and emoticon world, you should definitely try them out. Every day there are new graphics added, so you are sure to find hundreds, even thousands, that you love, and will make whatever it is that youre doing, be it emailing, IMing, or forum posting, that much more fun.
