I've seen it.
You seem to like these emoticons as much as I do.

Lol.....I'm loving these little guys!
I really like the new 'Like' system and select them for the icon they show rather than the meaning behind it.....like the heart to me should signify that you love something, rather than 'friendly'.

The heart is nice, that's true. I also think more of "loving" a post than being friendly.
When I first saw them, I supposed that the beautiful rainbow is positive, but was surprised when I read it isn't.
There are several members who don't know this, and gave "optimistic" to someone's post, thus giving a "neutral" rating. I think they wanted to rate positive. I was tempted to use it too, just because I thought it's a nice rating.

I think that the optimistic rating actually signifies overly optimistic. We need it to be much easier for members to know just exactly what these ratings mean before they give them. Members do have the ability to remove any relating they made and replace it with a better one if they choose. In the rating box of a post where they left a rating is a undo rating button on the right side.

IMHO, ratings are more than a bit narcissistic, just like all social media. If we must have them, I'd guess everyone would understand thumbs up/down, or a number of stars; the rest are just silly. Does someone give me a rainbow because he suspects I'm gay? And if he does, should I be insulted or flattered?
The rainbow rating means (overly)optimistic and is actually a neutral rating, not a positive one.
The word overly in parentheses is my addition.

Presumably as in Judy Garland singing "Somewhere, over the rainbow..."

LOL I loved these two quotes so much Lanny that I gave you a nice pink heart (for a Like) for them.
At which point I would also like to say:
To Whom It May Concern:
Please never, ever attach a Rainbow emoticon to my posts

A BOY AND HIS DOG,
It all began last Christmas, when two of Shyba’s older children, Jack and Zoe, met Santa Claus in New York and asked him for a puppy. The family’s NY apartment prohibited them from owning a dog, but after they moved out of the city, they began visiting shelters to look for the perfect pup.
After a few weeks of searching local shelters, they found a puppy that they fell in love with – Theo. He craved human friendship and attention from the moment he came home with his new family and, three days after coming home with them, he joined Beau for his daily nap. His mother, overpowered by the cuteness (as we all probably are), took a picture, and the rest is history

I was only given the choice of best or small on the little ones! So it's a mish-mash. Cute though! For those who like babies or dogs!
Leelai, thinking of you! Thanks for the hi's!

Want to learn a little bit chemistry? Here's a youtube video, from an email I just received from my son:
It's not as lame as it sounds. In fact, I was laughing the whole time while watching it. Enjoy!
