The faces behind our new emoticons

November 27, 2007 on 9:50 am | In 9.0 version, Fun Stuff | 305 Comments

Are Yahoo! Messenger users emotional? You bet. With our latest release of Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 Beta, we included six new emoticons inspired by users who entered our Emoticontest held over the summer.

Renata, a 31 year-old financial analyst living in Egypt, submitted the “thumbs up” emoticon which she says was inspired by the movie “Borat”. “My 4 year-old son saw a couple of (allowed) scenes and he wanted to imitate him.” Renata adds that in her home country of Macedonia, “we use two thumbs up whenever we want to say that someone has done a good job.”

Eunice S., a 22 year-old IT project manager from the Philippines, submitted the “It wasn’t me!” emoticon for all of us who may need to “look guilty in a funny way”. Eunice says “I would use my emoticon when someone’s blaming me of something I’m not responsible of. But, it can also be used by guilty people who are trying to deny something they actually did.”

11 year-old Daisy J. from Seattle, WA submitted the useful “Hurry up!” emoticon, which you can use in a number of ways to get your friends moving. Daisy said “I can never get my friends to leave…so now I can use my emoticon.” Daisy’s favorite emoticons? The big grin, nerd and “talk to the hand”.

Rose M., a 25 year-old marketer from Santa Monica, CA sent in the thrashing “Rock on!” emoticon. Her inspiration? “People everywhere are listening to music while they are on the Internet… So many times I’ve wanted to express that ‘I’m Rocking Out’”. Well, Rose, we hope this does the trick!

The other two new emoticons in Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 Beta are “Thumbs down”, submitted by Ryan L., and “Don’t want to see” from Nancy.Butterfly.

Thanks to all of our winners for their inspiring ideas. We hope everyone finds fun ways to express themselves with these new emoticons, available in the emoticon menu of Yahoo! Messenger 9.0.

  50. It’s great, too bad some avatars do not display at all in ym9, and in 8 they do. Aside of that, it uses much resources. Aside from the bots, it’s very good! when it will be fixed, I’ll upgrade.

    Comment by xxxEmOkiiddxxx — December 1, 2007 #

  59. Emotions was too good.

    If emotions with sounds then its much better. we will enjoy that one also. I always think that the emotions express some sounds. May be that sounds like “Jerry” (Tom & Jerry).
    Yes Jerry always makes sounds like “Noo No”, “Weaping”, “Smiling”, “Sleeping”, “Tongue”, etc.

  153. I think it should be an emoticon for “wasted” or “high” like : :_S (that’s a smiley with a joint from wich smoke comes out) or 8# (really inflated but nearly closed eyes and a wasted face) , but i got a feeling that we won’t see them any time short…peace from romania!

  155. Can someone make the middle finger sign in a joking kinda way? I think it’d be a funny way to say FU jokingly.

    Comment by Len — January 8, 2008 #

  156. wowowow wonderful emoticons !!
    for those who don’t know… if someone send you an emoticon that you don’t have or don’t know, just put the cursor on the emoticon itself (without clicking it) it will show you the text equivalent..
    try this :bz

I love the new emoticons, the possibillities are endless and i hope you keep adding new ones as people request new ones… I think an Irish one saying Top O’ da Marnin to ya! would be nice… or an urban one poundin its closed fist on its chest and sayin “much love, yo!” how bout a buff emoticon that is flexin like hans and franz, “we’re here to PUMP…. YOU UP!” or how bout one with local baseball cap on tilted to the side a bit, ie… DETROIT,BOSTON,OR THE YANKEES…..
