Welcome to "Defend Your List," a new BuzzFeed FWD series where we ask internet humans to share and then defend their internet habits. Pretty much everything we do online is carefully tracked, categorized, and arranged into lists. Netflix queues. Amazon purchase histories. Browser histories. Recent Seamless orders. At first glance, they feel like random inputs, mundane details no one would be interested in. Viewed another way, though, they're some of the most telling expressions of one's true personality — your actual media diet.
For our inaugural post, BuzzFeed asked New York Times technology reporter Jenna Wortham to defend a subject near and dear to her heart: her "recently used" emojis.
