Summary | Today's emojis don't really represent women in a fair way (dancer, princess, or grandmother). Therefore, Google is going to include peasant women, teachers or doctors, for example. But since the idea is to better represent minorities, perhaps the Bogdanov brothers and Conchita Wurst will complain about the lack of "mutant" emojis.

Summary | According to Facebook analysts, "lol" is dying out. In their study, they found out that only 1,9% of internet users use "lol" and 51,4% of them use "haha". Laughing emojis are used by 33,7% of internet users. "Lol" seems to be used by 30-year old men whereas emojis are mostly used by females under 20.

Summary | Emojis are becoming a universal language. Will they allow men and women to understand each other? A recent study tried to figure out which emojis are mostly used by men and which are mostly used by women. Results show that men and women use different emojis and they use them differently. For instance, women tend to use more emojis with tears than men.
