A few weeks back, Google+ released a major feature that got me and a bunch of others excited; Google+ released a bunch of animated emoticons including Nyan Cat (a personal favorite of mine).
But this post has got nothing to do with Google+ ;)
Facebook just did something quite similar, but stepped it up a notch or two.
When next you are chatting on facebook with a friend, try this:
Type [[cocacola]] or [[fanta]]
After hitting enter (duh :D) fb chat displays a tiny emoticon of a fanta or cocacola bottle.
Okay, (yawn), boring, try this too:
In fb chat, find your friend's username (To do so, go to your friend's fb profile,then look in your address bar and copy either the numbers or username after facebook.com/) and type it inside some square brackets e.g. [[michaelsmith]].
Hopefully no one is lost, but here's a screenshot of what it looks like if done right.

Well that's it, go try it on your friends. ;)
