Emojli – The emoji-only network

I don't have a sign-up page yet, but I'll have a sign-up page that'll let you know when the real sign-up page is ready.
On the other hand, they are exploring different aspects of one of the biggest achievements ever: instant mobile communication!
There is a place for SMS despite Email and phone calls. There's space for messaging apps even though we already had SMS.
It seems there are other aspects of communication that are not yet served by software. Formal or intimate, one-way or two-way, private or (semi-)public, serious business - emotional - fun. Two party or with different groups. Just text, or something that allows for individualism and creativity.
If your start-up gets one of those things right it could be huge, no problem!
No SPAM, no trolls, stupid "Yo", no boring emoticons. Since you can't post, there is no need to signup. Never forget your password, again.
So let's present to you our new signup page, where you can't signup at all. In contrast to other so called soon to be in existence social networks, our product is here. And it scales indefinitely.

(Apologies for the rickroll, but that was a serious idea of mine.)
You're welcome to vent on noj.li.
Also a platform where comments are required to be in the form of a poem would mitigate trolls and SPAM. poem.us anyone?
Wow. I had no idea.
edit: Oh, for shame, HN doesn't unicode that quite right.
But it doesn't show up in many unicode tables, so either it's new or non-standard.
I have a Windows Phone 8 beta, and the built-in keyboard now suggests related emoji as you're typing. It's not as obtrusive as it might sound, and I think it's fun even though I never use them.
Here's one I didn't use. Not sure if it's free:
