Update: Gmail chat has been updated with a tabbed smiley interface and new emoticons.
In addition to the standard Gmail Chat emoticons listed in a previous article here, some hidden smilies have turned up.
Whatchamuhcallit
They’ve added a cool equal, slantmouthy face =/.
Yeeesh, That Had To Hurt
If you wince, you need this one. >.<
Is Google Evil?
The Devil made them do it. }:-)
Pretty snazzy, and I wonder if similar ones exist. With a devil emoticon in the mix, an angel or halo would be cool. At least I hope there’s more reason for good over bad.
I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.
More Cowbell! +/’\ is a great addition. See the video here.
Update: The cowbell +/’\ has been fixed. Tae Yang points out in a comment (not posted as it was left without a correct email address) that the cowbell emoticon was incorrect. WordPress converted the apostrophe to a right single quote. The correct cowbell is (plus) (slash) (apostrophe) (backslash). Thanks Tae. Leave your email next time.
First saw =/ and >.< in a comment here, then dug up more here.
Update: There are several new smileys, including the robot [:|] and the “poo” ~@~ thing. Check out the full list of Gmail chat emoticons.

Your cowbell was wrong on this page – but thanks for providing the link from where you got it – so I could correct it and post the right one on my blog +/’\

@Robin – the hidden emoticons are all listed in New Gmail Chat Smilies. And you’re right, it’s listed as a kiss face.
