Ranking of Top thirty Japanese Emoticons

I found some interesting fact on net. In the middle of June, 2006 goo Ranking surveyed its readers by means of a public internet questionnaire on what emoticons, or smilies, they often used in mail from their personal computers. The following table presents the top thirty results. As usual for goo Ranking, number one slot gets ranked with 100 points, and all the rest with the proportion of votes relative to the top vote. Can use those emoticons for yourself too in your email or messenger applications to liven up your chat a little!
