Episode description

Welcome to the second episode of Why I Social Sessions - where we bring you short discussions focused on one-singular topic. This is not your standard Why I Social episode where we learn about a guest - but instead - we focus on important topics impacting the social media space today.

Today, on Why I Social Sessions, linguist and SXSW speaker Gretchen McCulloch (@GretchenAMcC) and I discuss the value of emoji's as a communication tool in today's social space. 

On Episode 2 

1. Who is using emoji language (and why?) 

2. What role does emoji language play in online conversation? 

Following the conversation:

I'd encourage you to use the hashtag #WISSessions to share your thoughts on Twitter and Facebook. 

This Week's Question(s): 

  • Do you think Instagram took too many direct features of Snapchat?
