very funny to see that people are tracking slang on twetter ! never used so don't know how it is used, but it is interesting to see the changes depending on the region... would this be analyzed as a mark of identity, like what we analyzed with the sms in Mondada's class? I guess also a deeper research could be done in this direction to see why people are using more often certain emoticone depending on the region. What does that relate and imply?

An extremely interesting, funny and very modern article. Although I have never used Twitter, it seems quite a good tool to track the development across time, whether it's accents, slang, geographical location or anything else for that matter...
