BikerBabe Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/09/18/emotico...y.ap/index.html I wasn't aware it was even known who started using :-) first. This article in CNN tells all about it, the original post he did it in and the reason and also has a great picture of the man next to a smiley written on poster board. :-) was first posted to an online e-bulletin board at 11:44 a.m. on September 19, 1982 by professor Scott E. Fahlman. This brings you the fun fact of the day and tomorrow whenever you use the :-). :), :-P. or any of it's variations, you now know who started it and say happy birthday to it!
