In Zlangos World, Emoticons Are The Future (And The Future Revenue Model)

GTL screenshot2They say if you want to understand the future, you have to look at children. And if my 10-year-old cousin's chat history is any indication, we will soon be communicating in emoji, Egyptian hieroglyphics or some other kind of pictographic language that renders the 2,000-year-old Roman alphabet obsolete.Sometimes she sends me full e-mails with dozens of lines of straight emoticons, which either means 'My cat ate my homework,' or symbolizes the Five Stages of Grief in a single word. I'm not really sure. Anyway, there is a mobile app for that. It's called Zlango and it's backed by Benchmark Capital, Accel Partners and DAG Ventures.
