Want to include cute little symbols in your Twitter posts?

By AndreaKalli

Ever wonder how people type those little symbols in their Twitter posts? My pal Sherman Hu pointed me in the right direction. Thanks Sherm!

A special thanks to this website, where I was able to find what I needed: http://www.alt-codes.net/

Disclosure: I’ve only tested a handful of these myself, on a Windows XP PC. Also tested in Outlook 2007 emails. Apologies up front if they don’t work in the environment you are in.

How To Use Alt Code Characters

  1. Make sure that you switch on the Number Lock on your keyboard.
  2. Hold down the ALT key (left alt key).
  3. And type the number of which alt code you want to get.

Example 1

For example the decimal alt code of heart is 3
Press and hold the ALT key and type 3 then you will get

Example 2

For example the decimal alt code of one half is 171
Press and hold the ALT key and type 171 then you will get ½

If you have been trying to decide between a full size laptop and one of those ultra-lightweight notebooks you are certainly not alone.  Many computer users are struck by the incredible lightness of these new portable notebooks, and they may be wondering if these notebooks can really replace larger and bulkier machines.  These ultra-lightweight notebooks are certainly much easier to… Continue reading the rest of this article...

The Apple iPhone is more than just a phone. It’s a mobile computing platform and an Internet gateway that allows its user to do things on the go with an ease that has historically been relegated to the desktop computer.
