I personally think it's just the in-style at the moment. It's different than what we're used to, barebones, and uses vibrant colors -- the antithesis of recent popular styles. Some seasons blacks and grays and navies are in, other seasons women like wearing greens and oranges and yellows. UX-wise, though, flat has more problems, but people might not care because it looks so fresh.
- magic_haze 13y agoAgreed, it'll probably settle down in a few seasons to something moderate (i.e., neither the garishness of apple's calendar, nor the usability nightmare of the WP8 app on windows.) I just wish we won't forget the lessons of these experiments, but most likely we'll just be reinventing the whole thing again and again. (Recent example: the horrible 90's emoticons craze is back in messaging apps these days, except they're now higher resolution and are called 'stickers'.)
- alex_doom 13y agoDo you mean Emoji? I've never heard it called stickers.
- robgough 13y agoStickers is the name Facebook are giving to their version... http://newsroom.fb.com/News/604/Messaging-updates-for-iPhone-and-a-new-look-for-iPad http://newsroom.fb.com/News/604/Messaging-updates-for-iPhone...
- guptaneil 13y agoFacebook, Path, MessageMe, and more call it stickers to differentiate from emoji. Stickers are generally larger and can be used on their own, while emoji are used with other text.
