Lilly Singh is someone I’d never heard of until after I noticed that the hashtag #AskSuperwoman was trending on Twitter “worldwide.” Given my affinity for Super Women I had to click and see what was going on. I found Lilly, but she really needs to add some biceps to be a Super Woman. That said, […]
President Obama shook the hand of Raul Castro at the funeral for Nelson Mandela, and really, in the sprit of Mandela himself, and yet, many on Twitter, who are either ignorant of the meaning of the now-late South African President’s life, or just looking for something to blast Obama about just because, issued some rather […]
“Stop Slavery With End It Movement,” the Twitter-based call to end modern slavery, has hit the Twitter Trends section for today, November 14th, 2013, as of this writing. After some analysis, this trend is actually related to the TV Show The Vampire Diaries. To understand what I mean, read on, because I blogged about what […]
The Godzilla 2014 Trailer leaked trailer is being removed from YouTube by Warner Bros., which (as i predicted) was filing copyright claims against any and all versions on the giant video-sharing platform.

Bradley Cooper And Gerard Butler were at Wimbledon, and because ESPN put its camera on them, they hit the Twitter Trend not once, but seven times. The talk of Bradley Cooper And Gerard Butler at Wimbledon was this couple-like photo they were taking with Cooper’s Blackberry. Meanwhile, Kim Sears, Andy Murray’s girlfriend, also became a […]
Andy Murray wins Wimbledon, becoming the first British man to do so in 77 years. Wow, that’s a long time. That goes back to 1936, when fears of German attempts at World domination were the focus, and the World was at war. Now, it’s 2013, and on a bright, sunny Sunday in London, Andy Murray […]
#StopLyingCNN Campaign: What Is It About In The Turkey Protests? The Turkish protestor-produced campaign called #StopLyingCNN has been successful in that it made the hashtag #StopLyingCNN a Twitter Trend, but as this blogger wrote before, there’s been a problem. The problem has been that it’s so insular and in Turkish, that, to this point in […]
The Turkish protestor-produced campaign called #StopLyingCNN was successful in that it made the hashtag #StopLyingCNN a Twitter Trend, but there’s a problem. The problem is that it’s so insular and in Turkish, that, to this point in time, no American news website or blog has written about it, until now. So, because #StopLyingCNN is in […]

IGDA Party confusion is at play in the controversy surrounding the San Francisco Ruby Sky Party where sexily-dressed female dancer models performed, upsetting a number of women attendees of the event, and causing some to quit the game developers association, and Twitter tweet about it in the process. First, the confusion stems from the now […]
Ah, gone are the days when IGDA parties were simple affairs where you had cocktails, met interesting people, and OK, interesting females-in-tech, and here are the days, or at least this week, where we have news of a party that bent what I thought were the unwritten rules of GDC / IGDA events: don’t piss […]
“Dear TMZ” goes the top Twitter Trend for today (one of them) because TMZ has said there are photos that have Justin Bieber and Lil Za, and Lil Twist with codine and Sizzup. But they don’t show the photos asserting that claim. Big error. Oh and if you recall, I met Lil Twist at CES, […]
The Screen Actors Guild is just moments from getting underway at 5 PM PT, and already the hashtag #SAGAwards is a Twitter Top – and that’s natural, without anyone having purchased the top position (#GOPro is that, for the new camcorder). And just what’s going on to cause that to happen? The best way to […]
The Waffle House, that famous chain of plain restaurants known for chicken and waffles, late night and early morning dining, Southern locations, fights with Kid Rock, and one involving these knuckleheads in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2011: ..is a Twitter Top Trend tonight. What’s fueling its appearance, and this is just this blogger’s guess, is the […]
President Obama is to speak on growing the American Economy and reducing the deficit, and just before now, there was a Twitter Trend called #StarWarsFiscalCliff. #StarWarsFiscalCliff was started about 90 minutes ago, when Republican Speaker Of The House John Boehner asked President Obama to stop the attack on spending, which he felt would lead to […]
Roseanne Barr, the once-popular actress on shows of the 80s, has announced that she’s running for President Of The United States. Seriously. Ms. Barr’s getting one thing out of her silly attempt: notice. She’s a top Twitter Trend as this is written. Well, fine, but Tom Arnold’s not backing her, and neither is this blogger […]
Demarcus Ware, the Dallas Cowboys Defensive End, hubby, and daddy, is certainly known to NFL Football fans and certainly Cowboys faithful, but now he’s known to social media enthusiasts. Ware has held the third position on Twitter Top Trends for 12 hours now, and counting. Why? This perfectly worded and hashtagged Twitter Tweet: Success is […]
The San Francisco 49ers, on the strength of 154 yards rushing, and some timely passes by Quarterback Alex Smith, lead the New York Jets 17-0 as of this writing. The 49ers play has caused some Jets fans to take to Twitter calling for Backup QB Tim Tebow, leading to “Tebow Time” becoming a Top Twitter […]
Cal Running Back Brandon Bigelow broke Twitter. After Cal’s 28 to 35 loss to Ohio St., Bigelow, who was the seventh highest Twitter Trend, fell off Twitter, then the entire social networking platform shut down. Who can blame the legions of football fans around the nation who took to Twitter to ask why, with 152 […]
What If One Direction Were Black? It’s not what you think. The second highest Twitter Trend as of this writing must be noted by anyone in Social Media. “What If One Direction Were Black?” refers to a song by the singer Maz of the same name and which he sings in the YouTube video below. […]
Either some Twitter users are blind or stupid, but whatever the case, the Twitter Trend “RIP Facebook” which is hot today (ranked number 7 as of this writing) and would seem to point to the demise of the giant Social Network website, is in point of fact totally wrong. As of this writing Facebook Stock […]
In a total LOL, the Twitter Trend “Miley Is Back” was expertly hijacked by Def Jam Recordings this morning. The overall announcement is that Miley Cyrus is back in the recording studio producing a new album. The news that “Miley Is Back” took Twitter by storm, and obviously did not escape the watchful eye of […]
Trendistic, once the go-to site for this blogger’s analysis of Twitter Trends, is no longer opening up when one goes to www.trendistic.com. And Trendrr, once the alternative to Trendistic, is now a Social TV pay-for-service site that tells nothing about true Twitter Trends. So, if you want to see how Twitter Trends change, where do […]
Last week, some were ready to give up on Fringe On Fox because the show’s Season 4 debut episode posted the lowest ratings ever for a Fringe telecast. That led to some anxiety among Fringe faithful, but not me. As I said last week, the massive interest in the then-new movie The Hunger Games snatched […]
As I write this Ray Lewis, the Baltimore Ravens Linebacker, is a Worldwide Twitter Trend, and that means he’s now known to people who may have never watched NFL Football before. Maybe that will change as they’re probably watching this: It’s short – two minutes long – but it hits you right in the gut […]
Forever 21, a fashion online and offline retailer established in Los Angeles in 1984, and that focuses on the young female adult demographic, is as of this writing benefiting from becoming a Twitter Trend on Black Friday. ‘Forever 21’ is ranked ninth, but it was as high as number three just an hour ago. The […]
The Philadelphia Eagles Wide Receiver, and former Cal Bears Star DeSean Jackson became a Twitter Trend, even though his name was misspelled to read “Deshawn Jackson.” What started the tide of “Deshawn Jackson” tweets? First, NFL fans are an informed group, and have opinions on every player and coach. DeSean Jackson is certainly no exception. […]
Steve Jobs sudden departure from the post of Apple CEO, and his recommendation of Chief Operating Officer (COO) Tim Cook to replace him, has many scratching their heads and asking “Who’s Tim Cook?” So much so that, as of this writing, “Tim Cook” is a Twitter trending topic, and the second most searched for term […]
