845. The number of emojis available to illustrate your state of life / what you're having for dinner / what you think of what others are having for dinner, on a standard iPhone keyboard. Now available on Yelp!
From Santa Claus, over palm trees to the French flag and eventually an obscure spiral emoji. Sometimes words just aren't enough and that's when you turn to emojis. Recently, Yelp (the one and only app to localize the nearest whatever you are looking for - from dentists to brown bodegas red.) revealed that emojis now will suffice when searching. And how amazing is that! Instead of crunching words and reminding yourself of how to spell you can let the adequate emoji do the "hard" work.
Alright, alright. So now you can embrace laziness and make things easier when out and about in your fast-paced life. But does it really work? Will you find the nearest cinema by searching with the Hollywood style clapper board? Or may you end up with the store selling clapper boards closest by? Time for some testing. Prepare to be surprised - or simply reaffirmed.
Was I looking for bananas - or was I in fact looking for a burger bar? Who knows - but you can't claim Yelp for not giving me what I was typing in, that's for sure.
Wonder what kind of food they serve here. But hey, does it matter when wearing the title Twins in Tweed? Thank you, Yelp!
No Chilean moai statues nearby I guess. Well, you can't have it all.
Wanting for more? I know, you can spend hours searching with emojis on Yelp - and finding the most bizarre/hilarious/both results. Read more on emojis on Yelp here.
Bon appétit!
