Twitter Now Lets Advertisers Target Users Who Tweet Emojis

Winky faces are the new keyword

Twitter wants to make emojis the new keyword.

Just in time for next month's "World Emoji Day" (which is apparently a thing on July 17), Twitter is launching a new way for advertisers to target users that have tweeted with a certain emoji or engaged with tweets with a certain emoji.

With emoji targeting, Domino's and Pizza Hut can target people who use the pizza emoji.
