Summary | There is a lot of ways in which one can write "I love you" in a text message and all of them mean something slightly different. Punctiation can transform the whole tone of the statement. Abbreviation of the three infamous words can make it less serious - which can be a good or a bad thing depending on context. Emojis are complicated and ambiguous.

Summary | Especially journalists are under a lot of pressure to build up their networks on Twitter. It is however really demanding to be successfully active on Twitter - it takes persistence and a lot of time. Many people are willing to invest this time so that they are even willing to sacrifice quality time with a friend to stay home and live-tweet their favorite TV show.

Summary | On emoji.ink users can build their own emojis, or rather, build pictures or scenes out of a large collection of emojis. A lot of fun can be had with this: one can design mosters with several heads or a scene of a penguin looking at a traffic sign. The creations can be saved and used later on. We have come quite far since the days of having to build a smiley emoticon out of three or more punctuation signs.
