Twitter adds support for emojis on web to make your tweets a bit more colourful

Emojis have become a fad, thanks to a wide range of icons on messaging apps like WhatsApp, Line and others. So far, Twitter has been supporting emojis on mobile devices – on its apps on Android and iOS – but now the company extends the support to desktop too. Those who use Twitter on web, will now be able to view the emjois, which would earlier appear as empty white boxes.

In case of Tweetdeck, the support is reportedly inconsistent. The micro-blogging site is expected to fix these issues soon.

For example, earlier you would have had to search like this: “Lady Gaga since:2014-02-01 until:2014-02-05” to find tweets related to the singer within these dates. But now the  advanced search page  has separate text entry fields for since and till dates, along with the other already-existing people and keyword options. In addition, you can also search for tweets by date based on a particular mood i.e negative or positive.
