[QUOTE]It's getting ready to launch as an app on iOS and will demand that even members' usernames be made up solely of emoji.
Tom Scott and Matt Grey's idea for Emojli, a social network that forsakes all other forms of communication in favor of emoji, is not as wacky as it may first sound.
Emoji, which originally grew out of the Wingdings typeface, have evolved into a language of their own with a vocabulary almost as rich as English. Only last month another 250 graphics were added to the list, offering users everything from an emoji middle finger to an image of the Vulcan spread fingered salutation.[/QUOTE]

and there were emails sent out to folks who registered earlier
You heard it here first, emoj.li is coming, and quickly! Add me: [IMG]http://puu.sh/bdaHU/81c020ca8e.jpg[/IMG]
So it's like communicating in Dark Souls, but as an IM.

What happens if they don't have Emoji icons for those with expansive vocabularies..?
Do we have to truncate our dialogue to pleb-level?
Aw it's not available for Android.
I signed up

Reminds me of that Doctor Who parody Rowan Atkinson did many years back, that mentioned an alien race that communicated entirely by the sound, duration, inflection, and odor of their farts.

someone should correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure emoji's dont just refer to emoticons, they refer to the very specific type of emoticon that can be universally sent to any device because of how it sends (a tiny picture is sent with the message)
I signed up a while back but I can't remember my login :(

not quite a tiny picture iirc, more like a special character which displays as a tiny picture already on the device
lol this is the most useless thing i have ever seen.

If I remember right, emojis are just a specific set of unicode that was added to the unicode standard within like the past five years or so I think. When you send an emoji to someone your phone just sends a specific unicode address to their phone, which then looks for the picture to load with that address. That's why some phones have slightly different emojis then others.
At least I think that's what it was.

Does facepunch still not support Emoji[/QUOTE]
I see them fine
someone is going to hack this to send non emoji messages, I guarantee it.
Reminds me of Gordon's dialogue in Codename Gordon
Add SA Emoticons :v: :wtc:
Haha I have been waiting for this for a while, I thought it was a joke when he announced it tbh. Even after signing up for it back then.

I can see them on my phone, here have some poo: 💩💩💩
[del]Chrome needs an extension (chromoji) for them to work.
Firefox supports it though.[/del]

Seems I'm incorrect, and Smurfy has properly described this.
My bad.

This was mine that I posted on the thread in Videos; can't be arsed to copy and paste the emojis

Chrome supports emoji on sites with UTF-8 encoding [url=http://getemoji.com/]like this one[/url]. That extension makes them work on non-UTF8 sites like facepunch too, and makes them look a bit nicer.
