Abstract

This article is about the sharing of happiness through the digital social network Facebook. Taking into account studies about emotions within the social context, in addition to issues of human computer interaction and Facebook, this paper presents a reflection on those emotional dynamics. This is a bilateral discussion, being the user author of the shared publication on one side, and the publication's viewers on the other. It also considers the demonstration of emotions through the symbols offered in this digital social network interface.
