Complete list of Facebook Chat Emoticons

Submitted by Caleb Brown on Wed, 23/04/2008 - 11:07pm.

While playing with Facebook Chat I wondered if it supported emoticons. Turns out it does. But when I tried the >:-) emoticon (a 'devil') and saw it printed as boring text, I wondered, "what smilies does facebook actually support?"

So with the help of Safari and some javascript hacking I present to you a complete list of facebook emoticons.

Music link fest

Submitted by Caleb Brown on Sun, 23/03/2008 - 7:19pm.

I love music and the internet has certainly fostered that love. No longer do I have to depend just on the radio, friendly recommendations and music-store-serendipity to find music I might like. With the Internet I can now pull up an artist's bio, scan through a complete discography, sample their music, listen to similar artists, and then buy the single song I was looking for.

So I thought I'd share some of the sites that I've found and use regularly (see below). You probably know some of them already, but if I missed one, leave it in the comments.
