lazy boys don't stand a chance

"Emoticons hint at age: someone who uses :-) is probably 10 years older than someone who uses :). People using 8-) are even older."

Analysis by Bluefin, discussed in “A Social-Media Decoder” in the Nov/Dec 2011 Technology Review.

I realized, while reading this, that I once ate a tremendous amount of sushi with friends at the restaurant after which Bluefin’s named.

It’s amazing and perhaps disappointing that we’re using such cutting edge technology to better sell TV ads, but I’m hopeful more meaningful applications will emerge.
