TwitterKeys allows me to express my inner ☃ ❥♘
September 18th, 2008 | 13 Comments | Categorised as: Tech/Web
Twitter redesigned some stuff. Moved tabs to the side and opened up the design. Personally I like it. The best new 'tweek' is the ability to reply to a Direct Message just by clicking a small mail icon on the right-hand side of the message you'd like to reply to.
Also, you can spice up your tweets or express the complexity of your emotions with TwitterKeys by the guys at The Next Web, i.e. ❉ ❥ ♘. It's nothing complicated, just a pop up browser bookmarket of a symbol library where you copy and paste little unicode symbols anywhere, like on Twitter, Facebook or right here, on your blog: ☃.
Or just like, double click & copy n paste these puppies below:

I've got mixed feelings about the new redesign ☢
Oh well, I use twitterific more than the website anyway.

I like the new layout as it is easy on the eyes and you don't have to search for things ~ which is my number one pet peeve with websites.

Its better than the crapy new facebook which I dislike so much.

♥ you for mentioning and ☛ to TwitterKeys! Unfortunately not all characters from Character Pallette on Mac & Character Map on Windows work on all browsers. You can see that demonstrated in the first comment where all I see is weird unicode and other people only see a white cube: ಠ
TwitterKeys is a sub-selection of characters that seem to ✔ fine on all browsers and platforms.
The safer bet! ☺

@Boris Whoops, sorry. That should look something like what you see at http://icu.tinsanity.net/. There's more info at http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0ca0/index.htm.

Whoops. ;)
That was supposed to look like this. It's a Unicode Character 'KANNADA LETTER TTHA' followed by an underscore and another 'KANNADA LETTER TTHA' to make a grumpy-looking smiley/emoticon/whatever you want to call it.
