I've always wanted to do this sort of thing, but lack the math and research background to do a good job of it. Glad someone is working on it.

My first thought while reading this post was "emoji analysis"

This is maybe a good idea. What would an emoji analysis tell us about a network? 😃

There’s a South Park episode where they use “Emoji Analysis” to determine the identities of internet trolls. I am not original commenter but I laughed when I read their comment because indeed this research is a bit similar to the trend analysis they do in that episode.
