**Mike Taylor:** You have these really nice hot tips...
**Wes Bos:** Yeah.
**Mike Taylor:** So you can search for "Wes Bos" and like a flame emoji and you'll learn so much really cool stuff.
**Wes Bos:** You actually can't!
**Mike Taylor:** Nice!
**Wes Bos:** No, you can't, because you can't search by emoji on Twitter. I get emails all the time; people are like "Where's the archive of your hot tips?" and I don't have one. You can use the Twitter stream API to search by emoji, but you cannot do a back search by emoji.
**Alex Sexton:** That's rough.
**Wes Bos:** Yeah...
**Alex Sexton:** So Mike Taylor's Twitter is his name, @MikeTaylr - without the "o" at the end. That's what you guys both are pretty much everywhere. Check these guys' stuff out, and well it was nice to talk to you all!
**Mike Taylor:** Bye!
**Wes Bos:** Thanks for having me!
**Mike Taylor:** Thank you!

It's been a couple minutes, maybe a few weeks here now since we've had a yayQuery episode, but for JS Party listeners who don't know yayQuery - yayQuery is myself, and then... In order, introduce yourse...
**Paul Irish:** Paul Irish. I am a JavaScript developer and I like the web. And that's me. \[laughter\]
**Alex Sexton:** Known for his ability to communicate well, Paul Irish.
**Rebecca Murphey:** Known for liking the web... Paul Irish. I'm Rebecca Murphey. I'm also a JavaScript developer. I think the web's okay.
**Paul Irish:** That's fair...
**Adam Sontag:** I'm Adam Sontag. I love the WWW which is I believe Paul's real original bio. Also, I'm an erstwhile JavaScript developer, and now a community director, I guess.
**Alex Sexton:** We used to have a podcast called yayQuery... One of the first nascent JavaScript podcasts. It was loosely about jQuery, but we branched very quickly into most frontend web development topics pretty quickly. JS Party actually somewhat gets its name from the whimsy of the yayQuery days. I think one of th...
**Adam Sontag:** Not like Family Matters?
**Alex Sexton:** Yea, exactly. Pretty much exactly like Family Matters. \[laughter\] Normally, I'm joined by Mikeal Rogers and Rachel White, but they're in Germany, or something...
