Slashdot refers us to the results of a hunt for the first ever use of a smiley.
The Register helpfully provides us with a link to Scott Fahlman's homepage, where the inventor of the smiley gives some more background information. And the whole conversation where the first mention of the smiley came from is here.
As Slashdot remarks: a nice piece of online archaeology.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
