Sessions - Episode 2 (Emojis and Social Communication)

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.

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):
