Now Advertisers Are Watching Your Emojis On Twitter (thenextweb.com)
Tweet a pizza emoji, and expect to see promoted tweets from Domino's and Pizza Hut on your feed. Twitter has announced that it would now let advertisers target users based on the emojis they post on the microblogging platform. Gizmodo reports: The social network, which hasn't made a profit despite a decade of trying, is trying to compete in a world where everyone is thirsty for those big advertising dollars. Just this week, Facebook said it would start using location services to track which stores you go into, something Google has been doing for years. Snapchat's thinking the same thing with new features that allow full-screen video ads between friends' stories.
Oh advertisers, is there anything you won't rub your greasy little dicks on in the hope of getting a few more dollars?
