    Cry. Many applications and web services are bloated just to use emoticons.

    I think you should laugh. Emoticons provide inflections to chat conversations that would be conveyed in speech by tone of voice. They are a way of enhancing the meanings that can be conveyed in chat, making it more like a speech conversation. I find the emoticons :-) and ;-) to be particularly useful.
