Hello facebookers, here’s a list of short hand and short keys representing emoticons to be used in instant messaging. You can now facebook chat easier, faster and interesting: ENJOY!
1. Shorthand for Laughing out Loud or Laugh out Loud, LOL is the most commonly used chat expressions to illustrate you are laughing during a text conversation or that you found something funny. LOL is also less commonly short for Lots of Laughter and Laughing on Line and is also often substituted by LAL, LAWL (Laughing a Whole Lot), LOLZ, and LUL. Although already an abbreviation LOL is also sometimes abbreviated even more as LL.
Finally, LAWL is also used as a slang term that phonetically spells out 'lol'. This is often said in the real life or over VoIP by someone who may type in lol a lot in chat.Although not as common as the above definition of LOL, this term can also mean Lots of Love and may be something added at the end of an e-mail, letter, or other correspondence.
Short for Lots of Luck, LOL is another way of wishing someone good luck. This term could also be used sarcastically as telling someone they don't have a chance.
2. Emoticon
Alternatively referred to as a smiley face or smiles, an emoticon is a method of showing an emotion on the Internet and text-based communication such as email, chat, and SMS. Emoticons are letters or symbols used on the keyboard to represent what you are feeling, for example, :-) when your head is turned to the left represents a smiley. The smiley face is often credited as being first suggested by Professor Scott Fahlman on a bulletin board September 19, 1982 when he made the below post.

From: Scott E Fahlman <Fahlman at Cmu-20c>
I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:
:-)
Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use
:-(
