There's a very good reason to tweet emoji at Google right now
Your friends know what it means when you text them a burger emoji — you're hungry! 🍔 — but Google sure doesn't.
Or didn't, we should say: Because starting today, Google will be able to interpret emoji via its Twitter handle. Simply tweet an emoji to @Google and the service will give you relevant results.
So, if you want to find the best burger in your area, all you have to do is tweet the burger emoji at Google, which takes just a matter of seconds. The account will then respond with a link to a Google search for "burgers nearby," displaying a map with restaurant listings.
Google says the feature will work with over 200 different emoji for food, sites and activities near you. It's also promising some "easter eggs."
It'll be interesting to see which emoji will yield search results — and you better believe we'll be trying as many as we can. (And yes, we're going there with the eggplant emoji.)
Stay tuned 🍆
