If you hate the new Twitter heart feature, then you're not alone. Many people have complained on the social networking site about the tiny heart – and it seems the people over at Twitter might have actually listened. 

One user, _Ninji, accidentally stumbled upon a new feature that the company may or may not be working on. 

Instead of tapping the heart to like something, users might now be able to select from a range of different emojis to express how they feel. 

Based on the screengrabs from _Ninji, the selected emojis include the face with hearts for eyes, the crying face, the 100, and the party popper. 

The feature looks very like Facebook's new reaction buttons, which allows users to choose a different face to respond to comments and statuses on their newsfeeds. 

But the best thing about this story? The Verge made contact with Twitter for a comment on the feature, and they replied in probably the best (and worst) way possible:

 We can only interpret that as Twitter saying: "You'll have to wait and see."

Her wedding to Joe Penna was one of the most anticipated society weddings of the year, but Irish model Georgia Salpa has dropped off the radar somewhat since tying the knot.

Usually a social media addict, Georgia has barely posted to Instagram or Twitter over the last couple of months – and certainly she has shied away from sharing any personal snaps.

With 370,000 followers on Instagram and 275,000 on Twitter, the Irish it-girl would have posted daily at her peak, updating fans with pictures of her bikini-clad curves, or snaps of her maltipoo and maltese, Bernie and Coco.

Gone are the days when we'd open the paper to be greeted by a snap of Georgia standing in a bikini on Grafton St, and recently we've come to miss her in our social media feeds too.

Doing the maths, it's been five weeks since Georgia posted anything new to Instagram – though she did share a throwback photo two weeks ago and repost a friend's picture today.

As for Twitter, aside from a promotional tweet last week for her friend's company last week, the curvaceous model has been silent online since mid-October.

The newlywed model kept fans updated throughout her honeymoon in May and June, which saw herself and Joe visiting San Diego and Bora Bora, but has wound down on social media over the last couple of months.

Perhaps it's an effort to keep her life as the new Mrs. Penna under wraps – certainly, the couple shunned any magazine deals for their Portofino wedding in May, preferring instead to keep all photos private between themselves and their guests.

And while she has not spoken much about married life in recent months, Georgia did reveal last year that starting a family was definitely part of her plan.

"In the future, I really want to have children. Of course it’s something I think about. I think most girls think about babies," she admitted last year.

"Kids are something I definitely want."

Whatever the reason for Georgia's absence, we hope she returns to social media soon – we're missing our daily dose of body envy.

Most people travel to New York to get a glimpse of the naked cowboy, but now it seems Dubliners may not have to go that far at all. 

Twitter and Instagram users were delighted this week when they came across the naked cowboy on the streets of Dublin.

Many people were wondering why he was out on the streets of our fair capital, and no doubt that all will be revealed soon. 

But in the meantime, here's a snap of the man himself:

Thousands of Irish and French walked side-by-side this afternoon in a solidarity march to remember those who died in last night’s terror attacks in Paris.

Marchers made their way from the GPO to Leinster house. Some were holding candles and linking arms while holding the red, white and blue tri-colour.

Clara Tracey from Enniskillen has been in Dublin just six weeks after spending six years in Paris. She spoke to TheJournal.ie and said that she wishes that she was still in the city at the moment.

“I just moved to Dublin from Paris six weeks ago, after six years. So I feel like Paris is kind of my home and I wanted to come out. It’s kind of killing me that I’m not there in a way, but my family are happy I’m here."

She added: I felt like I wanted to be around the French people and show suport."

The march was organised late on Friday night on social media by Juliette Charton. The  21-year old is  a French au pair from Paris who is living in Dublin. 

The crowd gathered and sang the French national anthem and paused for a minute silence. 

Support for the march quickly grew and, with the assistance of the French Ambassador and An Gardai Siochana, thousands of people came to pay their respects and show solidarity with the people of France.

Henry Leperlien, the elected representative to the french in Ireland for France’s Socialist Party lead the front of the march that culminated at Leinster House. 

“This is absolutely awful,” he said. “A lot of Irish and French people have come together and everybody feels extremely sad. We must stand together, we cannot yield in front of terrorism.”

According to the The Independent, there were an estimated 6,000 people present at the Dublin march. 

In Galway a similar march took place to show solidarity with the people of Paris and to remember those who lost their lives in the tragedy.

Well, what are the chances of something like this happening of a Friday?

Actually, considering that there are not that many dedicated supporters on location in Zenica this evening, the odds of spotting your dad in the crowd on the telly is decidedly more likely. 

Which is exactly why William Murphy’s dad is going to have some serious explaining to do when he arrives home.

Yesterday, William realised that he hadn’t seen his dad for the entire day. Naturally, he was beginning to feel a bit unsettled by the notion.

However, he need not have worried because once he turned on the on the nine o’clock news on RTÉ his questions were answered. 

There’s dad! Right there on the streets of Zenica in his very fetching green jersey. He is quickly being branded a hero by social media users for his dedication to the sporting cause.

In case you were wondering, Zenica is 2,752.9 kilometres away. So, you know, a handy detour on your way back from picking up a few messages. 

Fair play to him, but now we’re dying to know how he explains himself when he gets home.

Breaking news! It turns out that even Adele is not immune to a good bout of bawling whenever she hears her own music.

In fact, Adele is very  aware that her music makes you cry, and is revealing that she uses herself as the test subject to determine whether or not a song is good enough to be tear-inducing. 

In her latest interview with The New York Times, Adele said that she knows she's got a good tune on her hands when she feels herself start to well up.

"In order for me to feel confident with one of my songs it has to really move me," she explained. "That's how I know that I've written a good song for myself — it's when I start crying. It's when I just break out in [expletive] tears in the vocal booth or in the studio, and I'll need a moment to myself."​ 

So when you hear Hello and start sobbing over the missed romantic opportunity with that random guy on the bus that you briefly made eye contact with 2007, you're exactly the kind of audience that Adele is working to reach. She really knows what gets to us all.

Prior to the release of her latest tear-jerker, Adele worried that she'd waited too long to release another album. She explained that she didn't see much buzz about the teaser that played during ​The X Factor ​— she only saw three tweets​. ​"I was like, 'Oh, no, I've missed my window.” 

"'Oh, no, it's too late. The comeback's gone. No one cares.'"​ Her boyfriend then showed her that the tweets actually numbered in the thousands, with good reason.

Hello seems to have been played nonstop since the release, and the amount of memes that is has inspired have surely broken some sort of internet record. 

Hello sold more than a million downloads in a week and is poised to become the biggest song of 2015.  So, Adele is clearly content with her in-studio testing process of crying her eyes out.

One Irish comedian has sparked a massive global response with her Twitter antics of late.

Gráinne Maguire took to social media in order to draw attention to Ireland’s abortion laws. 

The 35-year old from Navan decide that “since the Irish state thinks my body is their business, I should take it at its word.” 

She decided to live tweet her period. Not only that, but she was directly the messages to Enda Kenny directly.

When her tweets gathered massive attention last week on social media, BuzzFeed News spoke to Gráinne about her Twitter activity. 

“I just thought since the Irish state thinks my body is their business, I should take it at its word. They get to decide what happens inside it, so they should know the full details,” she explained.  

Many other women decided to join in on Twitter and have been using the hashtag #repealthe8th.

“I never thought in a million years so many people would get behind it,” Gráinne added. “I thought it would just be a silly prank I did on my own.” 

The eight amendment bans abortions unless continuing with the pregnancy would result in death.

“I think the tide is changing in Ireland. Women are refusing to be silent and ashamed, they want equal rights.”

The Taoiseach's twitter account has yet to respond and a spokesperson added people tweet the Taoiseach all the time on all sorts of issues and are entitled to do so. 

Speaking to TodayFm, Gráinne said that if it is possible for her to use comedy to draw attention to the issue at hand, she can handle the criticism she receives.

You may have noticed that today Dublin city has seen a huge influx of very cute, and very large puppies.

While they are not of the fluffy variety- as they are in fact papier mâché puppies- they still have people stopping for photos and sharing them on social media. 

The pups are part of a campaign called The Puppy Promise. 

The puppies are a reminder from Dog’s Trust Ireland that a puppy is not just for Christmas. The puppies who have even been joining commuters on the LUAS today appear to look quite sad.

While they do look cute, it is worth noting that they are a reminder of the countless animals who are abandoned every year. 

The rather glum looking puppies have been spotted about the city with social media users sharing their photos of the canine props to help spread the message. 

The charity point out on their website that every November they see a huge increase in the amount of puppies advertised for sale. In January the amount of dogs then abandoned will also inevitably spike. So, they are asking people to make the Puppy Promise.

It seems like Justin Bieber is having a particularly bad few weeks. 

First, he stormed off a Spanish radio show when the hosts asked him a line of awkward questions and then he ran off stage at one of his concerts because a fan annoyed him.

But that wasn't the end to the 21-year-old's bad behaviour as new footage of him flipping a chair over in a crowded restaurant has just emerged.

The short video was taken in Cannes, France over the weekend:

However, Justin went on to Twitter to defend his actions:

AND then, he even used the incident to advertise his new album:

Oh, Justin, you never fail to humour us.

Ever woken up with a hangover, checked your Twitter timeline and cringed?

Drunk tweeting is never a good idea, but if you just so happen to have 23.8million followers hanging on your every word, then it's most definitely a bad decision.

Adele admits she learnt that the hard way a few years back, when she had her Twitter privileges removed after sending a few too many ill-advised tweets.

"When Twitter first came out I was, like, drunk tweeting, and nearly put my foot in it quite a few times," she revealed during a BBC Special last night.

Even though she doesn't drink these days, the Hello singer says she still prefers to let someone else manage her social media.

Nowadays each tweet Adele writes has to go through not one but two different members of her team before going live.

"My management decided that you have to go through two people and then it has to be signed off by someone, but they're all my tweets," she explained, after being asked about the rumour that she had no access to her own Twitter account.

"No one writes my tweets. They just post them for me. So, yeah, that's very, very true."

Adele's not the only celebrity to have employed a social media manager in recent years – it's quite common among Hollywood's elite, in fact.

Lena Dunham recently revealed that she had sworn off checking her own Twitter notifications or posting her own tweets, after repeated incidents of online bullying.

"It really, truly wasn't a safe space for me," she said. 

"'Even if you think, like, 'Oh I can read, like, ten mentions that say I should be stoned to death' and kind of, like, laugh and move on.

"That's verbal abuse. Those aren't words that should be directed at you ever."

Twitter has just announced that it is changing its favourite button for a like button – but many Twitter users have reacted badly to it online. 

Since the social network began, it has used a favourite button, which we have all become VERY used to. 

Favouriting a tweet could mean, "I find this tweet funny" or "this is good, but not good enough to retweet." It could also mean "I acknowledge your tweet, but can't be bothered to reply" or "I want to end this conversation, but on a positive note!" Favouriting is also a great way to bookmark something you want to read later in the day.

Now, however, we won't know what to do if any of the above situation arise. #Unlike.

And since Twitter announced the change, the Internet has been going MENTAL. Here are some users that haven't taken the news very well…
