Generally speaking things that Tom Scott is involved in are either experiments or satire (and quite often both): http://www.tomscott.com/projects/ ... He's also a very entertaining speaker. If you're near a conference he's at, go along. It'll be worthwhile.
My next big start-up idea is going to be like Yo, as well, except instead of Emoji I'm going to allow users to attach short textual messages. It's going to be huge.
I don't have a sign-up page yet, but I'll have a sign-up page that'll let you know when the real sign-up page is ready.

On the one hand Yo, Emojli are a little silly.
On the other hand, they are exploring different aspects of one of the biggest achievements ever: instant mobile communication!
There is a place for SMS despite Email and phone calls. There's space for messaging apps even though we already had SMS.
It seems there are other aspects of communication that are not yet served by software. Formal or intimate, one-way or two-way, private or (semi-)public, serious business - emotional - fun. Two party or with different groups. Just text, or something that allows for individualism and creativity.
If your start-up gets one of those things right it could be huge, no problem!

I suggest you buy already the domain getYoEmojilyApp.com
Introducing noj.li... The new innovative social network, where you can't post anything at all.
No SPAM, no trolls, stupid "Yo", no boring emoticons. Since you can't post, there is no need to signup. Never forget your password, again.
So let's present to you our new signup page, where you can't signup at all. In contrast to other so called soon to be in existence social networks, our product is here. And it scales indefinitely.

I wanted to make a personal blogging platform for myself to vent to. I often vent on tumblr, but it annoys my friends. So why not vent to /dev/null? Same effect, but /dev/null doesn't care about my feelings. It is always there to comfort me. It's never going to give me up, never going to let me down, never going to run around and desert me.
(Apologies for the rickroll, but that was a serious idea of mine.)

Oh great. Now I'll have that song in my head the whole day, you sneaky bastard!
You're welcome to vent on noj.li.
Also a platform where comments are required to be in the form of a poem would mitigate trolls and SPAM. poem.us anyone?

...that actually doesn't sound too bad.
Was a whole subplot of Arrested Development Season 4 (Netflix season).

Wow. I had no idea.

I think it's really awesome that several emoji redirect on Wikipedia to pages about what they represent.
Excellent. I'm now 😀.
edit: Oh, for shame, HN doesn't unicode that quite right.

But it doesn't show up in many unicode tables, so either it's new or non-standard.

Your Unicode tables must be out-of-date. Emoji's been in Unicode for a while now.
I'd been using http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm but I'll have to find something else if it's out of date.
I have a Windows Phone 8 beta, and the built-in keyboard now suggests related emoji as you're typing. It's not as obtrusive as it might sound, and I think it's fun even though I never use them.

I'm into the idea (sounds fun) but nothing to see yet.
Are all 1-emoji names taken? I've tried a bunch but suprisingly they are all gone.
Apparently not yet. Signed up as 🛃 just now (yay..).
Even five hours later after your reply I am able to register ☏ :) It's a matter of choosing a non-trivial one I guess.
Same here. Unable to take any obscure 1 character names
thats real retarded sir
I'm sure there an appropriate emoji for how you're feeling right now
😕💩 🔥💤💤💤
When was the point when we started to collapse as an intelligent civilisation?
When we started bitching about fun things on HN?
