WHAT IS AN EMOTICON?
An emoticon is a symbol or combination of symbols used to convey emotional content in written or message form. The word is a portmanteau of the English words emotion and icon. [read more]

WHAT IS A REAL_EMOTICON?
It's time to stop hiding behind tacky animated clip art! Now is the time to show our emotions as only we humans can express them! With each "rollover" of your mouse you can experience fellow humans conveying emotions through facial expressions. Some say Real_Emoticon is a cheap self-promotional gimmick to promote RightBrainTerrain.com. We have a nifty emoticon for those folks. Can you guess what it is?

HOW CAN I EXPRESS MY EMOTIONS?
YOU too can express your emotions by using your actual face. There are two ways to become a Real_Emoticon:

(1) Submit three [3] successive pics to RealEmoticon@Gmail.com. Don't worry about the size of your pics, but do try to photograph your face in front of a simple backdrop. We want the pics to be ALL ABOUT YOU! We'll resize the pics and create the "animation".

(2)  If you're one of them high-tech sorts, submit your animated GIF(s) to RealEmoticon@Gmail.com. Final size must be 100 pixels width by 100 pixels height with .2 seconds for each frame.

We may not feature them all, but you can submit as many times as you please.

BONUS!
When you send your pics, include a website address that we will link your image to. Such sites can include your personal site, a good cause, your business... We will verify all submitted URLs and we reserve the right to refuse anything and everything for any reason we please. Please use common sense. Think about the children!
