Today, #ThingsThatAreSexy is trending on Twitter. And I learned a very important lesson from this educational hashtag. Basically, whatever you might wear, do or say, someone in the world (or at least on Twitter) will find it sexy. Really. There were some sweet ones, some funny ones, and some just plain weird ones.

The Twittersphere is a strange, strange place filled with preteens obsessed with Justin Bieber and other teen celebrities I never knew existed, viral kitten videos and enough Kardashian drama to make you wonder if all these things are planning to take over the world. If you find yourself with a less followers than you think you should have, then maybe it’s because you’re guilty of one or more of the following social media crimes… Read More »

Kanye West was a very busy man in the wee hours this morning. While you were snuggled up safely in your bed, Mr. West was blowing up Twitter with a major announcement and more than a few personal beliefs. If you missed the brilliantly epic rantings of a potentially-mad man, fear not! While we didn’t toss all 60+ of his tweets in this post, we culled the high points and organized them into chronological order.

Hold on tight and tell us if you understand what’s going on here. Donda? Steve Jobs? Artists, scientists, designers and doctors? Huh?? (PS- Are you following CollegeCandy on Twitter?) Read More »

Every so often Jimmy Fallon gives his own personal State of the Union to tweeting Americans on the Twitterverse. These not-so-presidential addresses take the form of #FallonMono’s and we couldn’t be happier that Fallon’s at it again, this time with #NewHolidaySongs.

‘Tis the season to be jolly!

Lucky for us, ABC will probably air the 25 Days to Christmas countdown tonight (or did they start it already and I’m already behind?) and that means, for those of us that haven’t contributed yet, we’ll get a quick refresher on all things Christmas (including the carols)!

We decided to shout-out all the funny guys out there who’ve joined Santa Fallon on commandeering some new holiday classics for us! Read More »

Twitter teaches us a lot of things: breaking news from all over the world, what celebrities are eating for lunch (complete with pictures, because that’s such a necessity) and what my best friends are thinking when they’re passive aggressive. Oh, and that everyone—and I mean everyone—is a dirty little liar. Thanks, #Top100Lies! Check out our favorites from today’s top hashtag, calling you out on your biggest little fibs. Read More »

The internet has been flooded with news and speculation surrounding the Penn State scandal. Everyone is talking about it, even celebrities. In case you missed it, Ashton Kutcher had a serious foot-in-mouth situation when he tweeted, “How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste.” He apparently had not been informed of the situation and later deleted the tweet and apologized. Ashton has since turned over his twitter account to his managers.

Then we had the #LadiesWeWantAnswers trending topic issue where there were a lot of pretty offensive and stupid questions asked. I was blown away by some of the tweets I read. There are some people who would be really embarrassed if their boss or grandmother saw their tweets. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them got in trouble for it.

It got me thinking about Twitter etiquette. There are some snarky things that I really want to tweet, but stop myself because I think about if my future employers are going to see it. So I thought we should go over some basic Twitter rules.

Grammar: Just because you only have 140 characters does not mean the laws of grammar go out the window. You should still use proper grammar as much as possible because you’ll look like a fool if you don’t. Know the difference between your (possessive) and you’re (you are), their (possessive), they’re (they are), and there (place). While abbreviations are wonderful, please take the characters to spell out you instead of “u”. Text speak isn’t cool anymore.

Pictures: Twitpics are awesome for showing your followers what you’re up to. However, stick to appropriate photos. There’s no need to tweet pictures of your cleavage or your butt (I’m talking to you Coco). We really don’t want another Anthony Weiner problem on our timelines. If you’re going to send sexy pictures, don’t do it online.

Don’t be a jerk: Some of the funniest tweets are pretty mean, but they’re often from anonymous accounts like @Lord_Voldemort7. If you’re using your real name and your tweets aren’t protected, it’s in your best interest to keep it classy. If you really want to be a sassypants then create an account under a pseudonym, and go for it.

Don’t tweet about people: Someone from class or work really irked you today, so you decide to post a passive-aggressive tweet about them or what they did because you know they’re following you and will see it. This is a bad idea. The other person will see said tweet, which will only create more drama for yourself. Or someone else will see your tweet and think it’s about them, which will also create more drama. Avoid this.

Don’t air your dirty laundry: Twitter is not your diary. Sure I’ve posted about having a bad day, but I don’t spill my life story and neither should you. You don’t need to tweet about every single thing going on in your life, just like you don’t need to constantly update your Facebook statuses.

Twitter and other social media outlets are great, but use them wisely. With social media being so prominent, employers are checking to see what you’re up to. It’s best to keep things clean to avoid any issues. You don’t want to get called into your boss’s office because you tweeted something inappropriate.

So today in the Twitterverse, the topic #LadiesWeWantAnswers started trending. We would hope that when asking ladies questions, they would have some kind of substance. Oh how we were mistaken. When given the opportunity to ask women questions in a public forum, a lot of men on Twitter have taken this to be as obnoxious as possible. While some people (mostly other women) have valid questions, most of them are pretty ridiculous.

A lot of the questions were also repeated in various degrees of grammatical errors. We picked out some of the most outrageous (and coherent) and have responded! Read More »

Flying high on the release of her new book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, we thought we’d share some of the reasons why Mindy Kaling is one of our favorite Hollywood funny girls.

Number one reason to love her: She tweets and tumbls about her favorite affordable products. When was the last time someone in Hollywood actually decided to give a damn about what us common folk like. Number two reason: She’s on The Office, which is probably the only television show that has consistently made me laugh. Number three reason to like her? She loves Beyonce. I love Beyonce. If she can like what I like then hell, I might as well try to marry this girl.

But if that’s not enough to convince you just how awesome Mindy is, we went through her twitpics and pulled out the top ten photos that show off just how fabulous and fun Mindy is! Read More »
