Have you ever needed to say something, but felt that you just had too many words to say it with? Something like, “Hamburger [plus] Hamburger [equals sign] Smiley face. Poop!”? It’s out of this necessity that Emoji Tales was built. Emoji Tales allows you to construct short, profound, stories and truisms from the much ballyhooed emoji symbols used by the iPhone. Common use-cases might include, drafting a resignation, professing your love, or explaining your husbands death to loved ones.

But it doesn’t stop there friends. If you use Twitter to “tweet” the URL of your Emoji Tale creation, tag it with #emojitales. These tweets will be collected and re-tweeted by @emojitales for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks to Robert for creative direction, production gruntitude, and an unhealthy knack for hilarious Emoji Tales.

Tweak Today is a project I’ve been working on for the past couple months, with some help from fellow Barbarians along the way. The idea is that users rally behind a simple mission every day, and submit photos, videos, or tweets about it. The goal is to add something novel to your day that, maybe, you’ve never done before. Missions are created and voted on by the community, so check it out and suggest a mission.
