Like this RSS, there may be letters as ATOM or a small orange square with white wave-like markings inside or small bars (Chicklets) are also seen . What are they? Do they have any function? Yes, they do have - if you know about them and use them! All of them are of similar nature. Taking RSS (Really Simple Syndication) as an example, it is a websites syndication (publication). Here, after finding out an interesting and useful blog or website, the web surfer informs (subscribes) about his/her wish for automatically intimating him/her, whenever there is a publication of a new post at that blog. (This updated posts are the 'Feeds' from the blog).
OK. How to read then the recent posts from the selected blog? For this RSS feed readers like Google Reader, Bloglines or Mozilla Reader are used.

Emoticon :) conversion into J

I find the alphabet 'J' at the end of all the emails sent by my son. On inquiring about it he said that he did not send anything like that! Later I remembered that in the past he used to write always a smiling emoticon :) at the end of his all snail mails. Only that smiling emoticon is converted into 'J' while the email is in the process of sending! I confirmed that with my son. The question is how and why the emoticon is converted into 'J'. I first intended to end this post with a request to the readers to respond to that with a reply. But an hour's search and re-search in Google's search results provided me with the answer! My son is sending his emails from Microsoft Outlook and I am receiving them in Gmail. The emoticon :) that he sends is converted into 'J' by Gmail as it does not recognize it! That's all! You see here --> how and why of it!
I cannot say I discovered first this conversion of emoticon. Read from the links below others' experience, expressions and advices about it!
