how'd ya do it

searched twitter for the following patterns:

...and counted all the stuff that came up in the * places.

this first run was seeded with ~9300 tweets from search, pruned to ~5000 due to retweets and clones; wanted emoji were identified in about half of that set. for future runs, i'll be using the twitter stream api. neat.

tweet at me (@thricedotted) if you can think of better patterns!
