What are your favorite emojis?
Chocolate chip, hershey kiss, pile of mud or pile of shit. Whatever you call it, it was one of my favorites from the start. Back in the day, I utilized yahoo messenger and ICQ and they didn’t have anything like that. I also found humor in discovering the middle finger emoji was available on my phone the one time that I needed a thumbs up.
Did you know?
According to an article on techtarget.com, Some of the earliest emoji are attributed to Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita, who designed a set of 12-by-12 pixel drawings in 1999. They were created for use on Japan’s main mobile carrier, NTT Docomo, specifically on its mobile internet platform, i-mode. You can read more of the article here.
