Both of them happen to be HTTP links, since the web supports both. I am mostly interested in the documents.

If you want a responsive document that scales to all different screen sizes, modern touch-sensitive navigation for the content of this document, view-able on all the cornucopia of mobile and desktop browsers today then you need to use JS.

Why should the static content be dynamic? The responsive look can be a cherry on top of the static content.

Yeah, they're wildly popular with just about everyone I know 25 and under, especially on sites like Instagram. There's even been a music video created from them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmlJveN9IkI

Hmm. 40 year here who really likes using them. I find over instant messaging, which we use a lot at work, when you are just typing text a lot of the real meaning behind what you are saying is lost. Compare the following mentioned during a code review: Your code is crap Your code is crap :-) The first is taken seriously, the second is more of a sarcastic joke. The meaning conveyed is even stronger when the picture is…

I guess it's cultural, but I wouldn't IM "your code is crap" during a code review with or without an emoticon. If the code really was crap I'd be more constructive. If it wasn't crap I wouldn't say it was. Why wouldn't you just say what you mean?
