Why use words when you can use an emoji? Opera teams up with Yat to develop a project for users to access a URL by typing a string of emojis.
The integration allows Opera users to surf the web by entering a string of emojis into the URL bar instead of letters and words. The"emojification" of Opera, as the company calls it, is a "new, easier and more fun" way to find and be directed to Yat pages, according to Jorgen Arnesen, executive vice president of mobile at Opera.
"The partnership marks a major paradigm shift in the way the internet works. Through the integration with Yat, Opera users are able to ditch .com or even words in their links and use emojis to be directed to websites." Emojis embedded on web pages will link to the corresponding"y.at/" page automatically. Famous artists and celebrities were among the first to invest in and use their Yat emoji web addresses, simply called Yats. For example, rapper Lil Wayne's Yat page directs users to his record label's site and DJ Steve Aoki's page takes users to his website.
To mark the integration's launch, Yat and Opera are hosting a scavenger hunt for participants to compete for seven commissioned Fvck Crystals NFTs from NFT artist Fvckrender.Seven brilliant heroeswill have the chance to win seven beautiful FVCK_CRYSTALS//from the Yativerse.Make sure to follow us and turn onnotifications so you don't miss out on the rules of this incredible game...
