As a side project, Enric Moreu creates Emoji Trends by using a Twitter scrape of around 800 GB of tweets containing emojis.

Enric wanted a “language agnostic” way to see what was happening around the world by creating charts of how often different emojis were used. His goal isn’t that the charts are to be informative, but rather that they should trigger people’s curiosity.

I don’t intend to prove any point in this project, I think it’s just funny to see people wondering why people were tweeting a snake emoji.
