The End of Emojli: The Post-Mortem

[@JulianPritchard]

The irony of watching this in the future when Vine is also a dead app

[@DaCoolX]

And they joked about doing it on Citation Needed, which also had its last season published.

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

Vine was a weird thing; people used and liked it, but no one figured out how to make any money with it.

[@maxk4324]

[@JGnLAU8OAWF6]

Now we have TikTok

[@eamesaerospace2805]

Антон Южаков I know what I’d rather have

[@thewpbard]

Tom: "We can talk about this on Citation Needed at some point now." [THEY LAUGH] Tom: No, because what we're doing there, is we're setting ourselves up for a 15 minute roasting from Gary and Chris. That is just handing them ... 'Here you go, here is a really easy ball. Knock it out the park.'" Not going to lie, still an episode I would love to watch. Even almost two years after this video.

[@skyew.3939]

I feel like it would be even better as a title for two of these people are lying because either a) you get really bad lies of what it is or b) everyone knows what it is and the main contest is to see how many facts each of them can say about it

[@dominichines9996]

I can't help but think that they both had accounts and registered them early enough to get 🐌 and 🍞 respectively. And, of course, Chris will insist it never happened.

"Emojli. It's a vitamin supplement. Popular in Sweden and Denmark, back in the day." "Banned in Belgium, though." "Oh, yeah, I heard about that. No good reason, just a trade dispute."

I would love to see Emojli on Citation Needed

[@christinecrawford]

Thanks for the update guys!! I had watched your big video from the release weekend but since I'm on Android, I never followed up to see if I could get it. I had wondered what ever happened with it when I binge watched the last Citation Needed season when you released it. I'm glad everything was "sorted" without any big issues for you guys. (that was the first time I'd heard "sorted" used like that, aside from Sorted Foods' videos! lol!) Btw, I am anxiously awaiting the next season of Citation Needed! Let's crack on with that, ok? 😉 In the meantime, I'm off to rewatch 5 minutes of wallaby butler material....

[@sloanemactire8780]

It'd be really amusing if Gary or Chris would choose Emojli for "Two of These People Are Lying". It'd be a dead giveaway as to who was telling the truth, but the answers would be hilarious. ;)

[@muppist]

If you ever do something unique like this again, before shutting it down, you might ask someone to sponsor it's upkeep for a year. At say $500 per year, surely there's someone on the planet that would think it was worth doing, even if their only reward was the satisfaction of knowing that they kept it running that year.

[@TJB923]

Question for you guys, specifically Tom: In the video you did for TedX in 2012 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmebnpZ-Z9uYebc, you had a very dynamic presentation, both graphically on the screen and in the software compiling live results from twitter. I'd be really interested to hear about the setup you had, including the software you used (or maybe created!?) to take tweets and incorporate them into a dataset, then the method you used to integrate those results into a slideshow/presentation with dynamic text, updating live. All the best!

[@xD-ne1lv]

You should do this as a podcast. That would be cool.

[@zJoriz]

I think you were about to say how many users actually cared for their data / downloaded it / reacted after you announced the end of the app. Did you see any of that?

[@unakamillasteinsen4817]

Great video! I wish I had known about Emojli when it was up. Shame you had to kill it, I would totally have used it. And yay for The Technical Difficulties!

[@Starwarsfan161]

The concept is fantastic, I do feel that a donation account could be set up which keeps the money and pays the apps running cost until the account runs out funds. I certainly don't feel it should come out of your pocket. I accept that it wouldn't run on future device but feel it could be left to die out more slowly. Did you ever release the code or would someone have to contact you directly about it (don't destroy it please).
