twitter dish - Pirate Finder, #nottosayonafirstdate, #openwebawards, #nothanksbillyocean, Droid autofocus fix
[LESS INFO] 7 VIEWS | ADDED 21:19:04 11/19/09
Our first twitter trend of the day is brought to us by rum and the lash:
Pirate finder
Rumors abound that the British government is considering creating a “Pirate Finder General” with powers akin to the Witch Finder Generals of years past. The British Secretary of State would gain the power to pass any law he wanted, without Parliament’s approval, all in the name of protecting copyrights. I have a suggestion: a crack force of ninja assassins to take out those pirates once and for all!
Twitter trend number 2:
#nottosayonafirstdate
A few things tweeters can all agree shouldn’t be uttered on a first date:
“Don’t worry about the rash. The doctors say it’s probably not contagious”
“Let’s get this over with. My wife expects me home by ten.”
And “Oh sweet Jesus Noooooo!”
Twitter trend number 3:
#openwebawards
Mashable’s 3rd annual Open Web Awards nominees are up, and voting is open until December 13th. You can vote for me in the category: Best Female Host of a Web-based Show Covering Social Media Trends in a Snarky Manner.
Award nominated trend number 4:
#nothanksbillyocean
I am NOT getting out of my car, and I am by no means going anywhere near those dirty, dirty dreams of yours. Comedian Ross Noble has suggested that we not follow Billy Ocean’s romantic advice, and Twitter users concur.
And our final twitter trend of the day:
And our final twitter trend:
Droid autofocus fix
Verizon’s new hotness, the Droid, is already hitting a rough patch as users are complaining that the autofocus feature is pooping out on barcodes. Luckily, there is a quick fix: CLEAN THE LENS, YOU MORON!

twitter dish: Lucifer, Satan, DontHackBritney, Lou Dobbs, New Moon, Carrie Prejean, Which 1
[LESS INFO] 5 VIEWS | ADDED 22:54:37 11/12/09
Today’s top twitter trend:
Lucifer and Satan.
Why is the Lord of Darkness trending? How about this:
#DontHackBritney
Turns out that Miss Spear’s twitter account was hijacked. The tweeting ne’er-do wells posted Illuminati diatribes and the following:
@britneyspears:I give myself to Lucifer every day for it to arrive as quickly as possible. Glory to Satan!
Maybe it’s just me, but put a reggaeton beat under that, and Britney’s got her next hot single. Ok, all together now:
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!
Fnord.
Twitter Trend number two:
Lou Dobbs
The last remaining original CNN host is emigrating away from his news desk. So long, Lou! The world will be a sadder place without your jingoistic rants to warm our cockles.
Twitter trend number three:
New Moon
The sequel to Twilight is out in 8 days! 8! Time to break out the vamp fangs and werewolf mullets and get in line now! Go!!! Now!!! More news on this trend once something actually happens.
Twitter trend number 4:
Carrie Prejean
It was a banner day for CNN yesterday. First, Lou left, and then the former Miss California threatened to walk out of her live interview with Larry King. Tweeters on both sides of the political spectrum are fuming. Here at twitter dish, we don’t take side, but we do love twits!
And our final twitter trend:
Which 1
The Reverend Run hits us with this much re-tweeted wisdom: Its much easier 4 people to be critical than to be creative.. Which 1 will u choose?
I choose: cheesecake. Yummmy.

twitter dish - Sesame Street, Attention Deficit, Modern Warfare 2, Anita Dunn, Berlin Wall
[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 00:52:40 11/11/09
Our first trend is brought to you by the letter T and the number 40.
Sesame Street
In 1969, some people with too many puppets and a lot of time on their hands dedicated themselves to the smartification of America’s youth. 40 years later, Grover just bought a Jag and a trophy wife, Oscar is on Zoloft, and Bert and Ernie are pushing the beds back together! Happy Birthday, Sesame Street.
Twitter trend number 2, 2, ah ha ha ha! (like the count)
Attention Deficit
Wale’s new album, Attention Deficit, is in stores today, and tweeters around the count… hey, look, a butterfly!
Twitter trend number 3:
Modern Warfare 2
Also out today: The latest and greatest Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare 2. Gamers every… hey, look, a butterfly! KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!
Twitter trend number 4:
Anita Dunn
White House Communications Director Anita Dunn is… done. She just announced that at the end of the month, her time in the Obama administration will be... done. Seriously, why would you even hire someone with a name like that? You have to know it won’t end well.
And our final Twitter trend:
Berlin Wall
20 years ago, the wall came down and Germans united as one under the clarion call of one man’s music. David Hasselhoff. Is there anything that man can’t do? Oh, right. Eat a cheeseburger.

twitter dish - Yankees, Paranormal Activity, #itshouldbeillegal, New Fang, RIP Geocities
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 23:57:12 10/26/09
Today’s first twitter trend:
Yankees
Damn! Looks like once again, LA proves that style is no substitute for substance. After defeating the Angels, the Yankees return for their four thousand five hundred and seventy first World Series.
And tweeting second, it’s southpaw trender:
Paranormal Activity
At least at the movies, the underdog can stiull come out on top. Paranormal Activity, this year’s Blair Witch Project, came in at number one this weekend, defeating perennial favorite Saw 6.
Twitter trend number 3:
It should be illegal
What do twitter users think should be illegal? So far we’ve got haggis, anything involving a balloon that costs taxpayers more than two million dollars, and lookin’ so fine!
On to Twitter trend number 4:
New Fang
Them Crooked Vultures drops their new single “New Fang” on, appropriately, Music Monday. And the tweeters go wild!
And finally, on a more somber note, Twitter trend number 5
RIP Geocities
Alas, poor Geocities. I knew him, Horatio. A site of infinite “under construction” signs. Today, the home to millions of crappy personal sites is no more. A moment of silence, please.
