The rise and rise of emoji social networks

Title: The rise and rise of emoji social networks


The article begins by explaining the dramatic change in the social networking world, where we have stopped using actual words and started using emojis in order to communicate; shortening the amount we have to say further than slang. The article then goes on to talk about the release of an app called “Emojicate”. This app is an all emoji app, where it has created custom emojis rather than using the built in emojis. The article goes on to explain how the app works. Then it mentions the Emojili- UK app-was announced before but release after the Emojicate app.     




In my opinion this article highlights the change in communication over the recent years from proper English to short forms of words to slang and now to all out emojis. Personally it’s a dramatic change in terms of the elder generations, who have little or no comprehension of emojis and how they are used.
