Emoticonful~~

This article was about how Matt Jones, a Pixar illustrator, is going to help Facebook reinvent the emoticon!

I learned that:
  • Dacher Keltner, the codirector of University of California-Berkeley's Greater-Good Science Program, started helping Facebook with this project.
  • Charles Darwin's book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals was primarily used as a reference.
  • Matt Jones tried adding noises for emoticons. xD
I thought this article was really neat. I like how a Pixar illustrator is getting involved in something like this. I also like how far they're going to go with this, from new colors to major exaggeration.

My one question is: How long will it be before this actually happens on Facebook?
