- capableweb 6y agoDon't think it's about age. I'm also considered old (in the technology sphere at least) and I don't really enjoy the "emoji" humor either, but I don't get mad about seeing them. Let others have their fun, no need to get angry about things you cannot control.
- robotbikes 6y agoI think I'm old in that I was thinking how would I write this emoji email address on paper. Also I can just imagine the joys of form validation when you add an emoji into the email address. On the other hand I doubt most email harvesting bots crawling the web would be configured to recognize an emoji email.
- thrwyoilarticle 6y agoYou shouldn't use any vanity email address as your only address, unless you want your online life lost to inbound GMail and outbound corporate filters. So, if there's a situation where you need to write it down, use the 'serious' address.
- ttt0 6y agoI'm not old and I hate it. I don't even know how to insert an emoji on a computer.
- sshagent 6y agoYeah thats what i meant. I should see the fun as the primary part of this. I guess we're just one step away from meme email addresses.
- ziml77 6y agoBut it's reasonable. Domains are already surprisingly confusing to people. Emoji in a domain piles on top of that when people have no clue that's possible. Plus it makes it more difficult to communicate the address verbally and it can be hard or even impossible to enter the address in some systems.
