Big List of Emoticons

An emoticon is a textual expression of the face representing the writer's mood or facial expression. Emoticons are used to display the receiver of the message about the temperament of a person and the statement. It can improve the conveyance of the message and also gives more meaningful expression to the message than just by simple interpretation of the plain text.

The origin of emoticons goes back when the Telegraphic Review and Operators Guide documented the use of the number 73 in Morse code to express "love and kisses," which was later reduced to the formal "best regards."

These are created by a complex character pattern or combination of the electronic keyboard characters. It is increasingly being used in email, SMS, status message, social networking sites, web forums, instant messengers, and online games. This way of expression oneself is increasingly becoming popular through the use of the interactive electronic media.

An emoticon represents an expressing face, you can notice it if you tip your head to the left and look at it again. The colon represents the eyes, the dash represents the nose, and the right parenthesis represent the mouth. Emoticons have expanded beyond simple cartoon facial expressions to include a variety of still or moving images called smileys, . Some of these graphical emoticons do not actually represent faces or emotions, such as an "emoticon" showing a guitar might be used to represent music. Further, some instant messaging software is designed to play a sound upon receiving certain emoticons.

These little characters are a great way to spice up your IM conversations and status messages to show your friends how you feel. Select them from the emoticon menu or type the keyboard shortcuts directly into your status message. Here there is a list of emoticons that are commonly used for message transmission.

What is an internet cookie ?

An internet cookie is a small piece of text or data sent by a remote web server (server computer) and stored in a file on your computer by the browser that you are using while surfing the web. A cookie is also called as a web cookie, browser cookie, or HTTP cookie. A cookie is used for authentication of a website, storing site preferences, shopping cart contents, identifier for a session on a computer, personalization, user behavior etc. A web server will request a cookie later and the browser retrieves it from where it is stored in the computer. Cookie consists of name-value pairs containing bits of information which is encrypted for privacy and security reasons. The information contained in the cookie can actually be used to track your identity, preferences, and your actions while you navigate the web. Cookies has an expiration date associated with them and will be deleted automatically when the expiration date has passed. These are not executable files as it is a text file and will not replicate themselves like viruses.

Because the browsers can read and set a cookie, they can be used as a spyware to track user behavior. Some cookies can infringe on the privacy of the users and can be possible malware, which is identified by a good anti-spyware/anti-malware program. Cookies can be cleared manually like how we clear the internet cache or browsing history. There are browser settings whether to accept cookies and the time frame to keep any of them. Rejecting cookies altogether may make some websites unusable because cookies are needed by some websites for authentication and secure transaction like mail websites, online payment websites etc. So it is advisable that you do clear all cookies before logging into these websites.

Many websites use cookies for personalization based on user's preferences. Users select their preferences by entering them in a web form and submitting the form to the server. The server encodes the preferences in a cookie and sends the cookie back to the browser. Every time the user accesses a web page, the server is also sent the cookie where the preferences are stored, and can personalize the page according to the user preferences. It is then possible to find out which pages the user has visited and in what sequence. The log contains the requests done using a specific cookie ID and it can be determined whether the requests have come from the same user. The URL and date/time stored with the cookie allows for finding out which pages the user has visited, and at what time.

Server and browser use the cookie transaction introducing a state or memory of previous events of HTTP transactions. Without cookies each retrieval of a web page or component of a web page is an isolated event, unrelated to all other views of the pages of the same site. Tracking within a website is typically used to produce usage statistics, while tracking across websites is typically used by advertising companies to produce anonymous user profiles. A tracking cookie may infringe upon the user's privacy while surfing anonymous websites but they can be easily removed.

You can manually delete any cookies by clearing it from the browser thus permanently deleting it from the computer.

What is a URL and what are the different components of it

A URL is actually a link, which connects you to a website. It is also called as a Uniform Resource Locator. This is a unique address for a file that is accessible on the Internet. eg. http://www.website.com/products/laptop.html  A common way to get to a web site is to enter the URL of its home page file in your Web browser's address line. The target website is contacted using a hypertext transfer protocol, which identifies the website and transfer the contents to the end user. The Uniform Resource Locator was created in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee, Marc Andreessen, Mark P. McCahill, Alan Emtage, Peter J. Deutsch and Jon Postel, as part of the URI. The URL consists of various components to describe the full length of it.

Every URL consists of the 1) the scheme name or  protocol followed by a colon, then depending on scheme, 2) a hostname (server name or alternatively an IP address), 3) a port number, the path of the resource to be fetched or the program to be run, then, for programs such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts, 4) a query string and with HTML documents an anchor (optional) for where the page should start to be displayed.

      The basic components in a URL are:

      http:        //www.website.com       /products/          laptop.html

   protocol          server name           directory name      page or file name

1) Protocol comes first and ends with a colon eg. http:
2) Server name comes then, prefixed with a double slash eg. //www.website.com

    Server name further divided into:
a) Server's name eg. www
b) Domain name eg. website.com
3) Directory which comes next with slashes before and after eg. /products/
4) Actual Page / file name comes last eg. laptop.html

A URL for a particular image on a web site will look like this:
      http://searchnetworking.website.com/animals/images/koala.gif
A URL for a file meant to be downloaded using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) would require that the "ftp" protocol be specified like this:
     ftp://www.somecompany.com/whitepapers/widgets.ps
A URL to email a message to someone would be like this:
     mailto:somebody@mail.com

Big List of Electronic Text and SMS Message Abbreviations

Electronic text messages are used to convey information through email, IM, chat rooms, SMS etc, and it is getting popular these days.  It is an easy and efficient means of communication where simple text message is transferred through various electronic devices such as computers, mobile phones, fax etc. from the sender to the recipient. For shortening the text message, conveying more information, and to reduce the time for typing long sentences into a short SMS or text messages, people use abbreviations. Abbreviations helps to complete the entire message within 160 characters SMS or 140 characters in most of the social network text input boxes.
