Fallen Soldier’s Memorial In Twitter

On July 4 a grief stricken father posted, “They killed my son, Arron!”

It took David M. Masters, three more tweets, which have a limit of 140 characters to tell the rest of what happened to his son who was slain in Afghanistan on Independence Day.

"He was minding his own business BS-ing with an Officer on base in Afghanistan... When a suicide bomber, driving a truck breached the perimeter and pushed the button...Killing my son, Aaron and the Officer."

"I'd like to see "Thank you, Aaron," show up on the Trending Topics for giving his life on Independence Day in Afghanistan," added Master.

The phrase "#thankyouaaron" stayed at the top of the Twitter charts until Sunday morning when it was crowded out by Wimbledon-related tweets.

YouTube Video Captures Newly Drafted Bucks Player Railing Against the Knicks for not Drafting him

Brandon Jennings, who played basket in Italy after graduating from high school has since returned to America and been drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks. Like any other young player, he wants to make a name for himself. He’s accomplished his goal, but for all the wrong reasons.

Jennings’s YouTube video that captured his profanity-laced conversation with a rapper has been removed. However, the transcripts are circulating faster than Jennings’s attempts at damage control.

In the video, rapper Joe Budden is shown talking to Jennings on a speakerphone. According to a partial transcript posted on sportingnews.com, Jennings insisted that guard Ramon Sessions would not return to the team, boasted that he would beat out Luke Ridnour to become the starting point guard and made a profane comment about the New York Knicks for not drafting him.

It has since been reported that Jennings will start his rookie season at 3rd on the depth chart.

Need Some Weed? Just Check Twitter.

A Los Angeles based medical-marijuana dispensary uses Twitter to send out tweets to promote their product. For the first six months of operation, the dispensary, Artist Collective, received little notice. Then they got a Twitter account and in less than two weeks, so much buzz was created about the non-profit organization they attracted the attention of Fox News.

In California, the growing and selling of marijuana for medicinal purposes is legal.

In addition to Twitter, Artist Collective operates a Facebook and a MySpace account. On July 8, 2009, it was reported in the Business Insider that Facebook would shut down Artists Collective's Facebook page. As of July 14th the Facebook account is still in operation.
