Facebook Wants to know your Mood

Besides wanting to know what's on your mind, Facebook now also wants to know how you're feeling - and is  putting emoticons to use.

Emoticon fans will love the new "quick and easy" way to let their friends know how they're feeling, adding an extra layer of connection between people. Especially when words aren't enough or might be misinterpreted by others.

For now, this feature is being rolled out in the US alone... so, the rest of us will need to wait a bit longer. Which is kind of lame, considering emoticons are one of the ways we can express feelings without having to understand other people's native language. If there is a feature that would be well suited for a global roll-out, this would be it.
