These are some Frequently Asked Questions about this service, with some answers.
What is www.emote.in - From Tears to Cheers, Broadcast Here!?
www.emote.in - From Tears to Cheers, Broadcast Here! is a lifestream service, where you can write and share short (140 chars or less) text notices (called "dots") about yourself, how you're feeling, where you are, what you're doing at any given moment, or practically anything you want; and those dots will be sent to all your friends.
Why do we call the notices as DOTS?
We believe, the things you do or feel or experience everyday, are little dots in the portrait of your life. you can't connect the dots looking forward; but you can very clearly connect them looking backwards.
For more, see what Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer has to say on dots.
Why did we keep the limit to 140 chars
To make the dots short, concise, and fast reads. We know, people want a blog but don't want to blog bigger story kind of updates.
