There's nothing quite like new social media to point out how embarrassing old social media was. Case in point, Twitter account @YourAwayMessage, which basically takes lines people would've used as their AIM away message in 1998 and tweets them instead. We are so embarrassed about that time that everybody liked the Counting Crows, thanks for reminding us. Here are a few of our favorites they've com

Bill Cosby very nearly made the internet explode this morning when he tweeted some pictures of himself in totally heinous Cosby sweaters. What's left to happen after this? We wouldn't be surprised if Twitter released a statement saying they've fulfilled their destiny and then shut the site down forever. Grab a Jell-O pudding pop and check them out below.

So much for Little Monsters. We were all excited when Lady Gaga hit the 28,000,000 followers mark on Twitter, but it turns out that Mother Monster's nearly 29 million-strong legion of fans might mostly be Little Bots.

Samuel L. Jackson is by far one of our favorite tweeters, thanks to Jimmy Fallon who taught the celeb how to use the social media site. For one, he made the 2012 Olympics that much more entertaining with statements like, "Did that Russian just do the 'whoa Gurl Whut wuz in That Drank, dat Sh*t wuz Skrong' Vault landing?!" However, his most recent sentiments regarding Hurricane Isaac thre

Early Sunday morning, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi finally gave birth to her little meatball man, Lorenzo Dominic LaValle. Once she and fiance Jionni LaValle announced the arrival of their diaper-clad guido, the Twittersphere exploded with both messages of congratulations and jokes about the hair poof queen becoming a mom.

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger are getting married. Congratulations? At least we aren't the only people who thought this was hilarious. Here's a roundup of our favorite Twitter reactions to the happy (but awful) news.

Kevin Curwick is a senior at Osseo High School in Osseo, MN. He's also the captain of the school's football team -- which makes him an unlikely candidate for cyberbullying.

They should probably just call the 2012 Summer Olympics the "Twitter Games," as the microblogging service has been part of quite a few of the story lines so far in London. American swimmer Ryan Lochte is one of the many athletes at the games to maintain an active Twitter account. An account that got even more popular when the 27-year-old started off the Olympics with a defeat of rival Mi

Like many Olympians, British diver Tom Daley uses Twitter to communicate with his fans. On Monday, one of his over 700,000 followers stepped out of line with a vicious taunt after the 18-year-old failed to medal in the 10m synchronized diving event.

Anderson Cooper, also known as the Silver Fox, came out as gay in an email to columnist Andrew Sullivan that was published on The Daily Beast today. His announcement took Twitter by storm and 'Anderson Cooper' is now trending on the site. The tweets are mainly lauding him, or confidently stating that they weren't surprised. Many quote Cooper, saying, "there is value in standing up and being c

As a way to promote its show 'Chasing UFOs' and potentially impress aliens with our highly-advanced Twitter technology, the National Geographic Channel will broadcast tweets into the deepest recesses of space this coming August.

When actor Brian Presley saw that he would be seated to next to Melissa Stetten on his flight from Los Angeles to New York on June 6th, he probably thought he hit the jackpot. Stetten works as a model, meaning that's she's both pleasant to look at and unlikely to impede upon his armrests with her girth. But Stetten ended up being the worst seatmate Presley could have ever imagined. That's because

Back in April, retired actress and living doll lookalike Amanda Bynes side-swiped a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy patrol car at 3 AM. After the 26-year-old refused to take a chemical test, she was arrested for DUI. On Tuesday, Bynes was formally charged with the crime. But what Los Angeles County prosecutors probably didn't realize, when they brought the charges, was that the former Nickelod

In our digital age, you have to do more than just send your mom flowers and a card for Mother's Day. The woman who brought you into this world deserves at least one shout out on social media. Which is no big deal, really, since a tweet doesn't cost you anything and shouldn't take more than a minute or so to compose. Nevertheless, Neil Patrick Harris managed to make a hilarious mess out of the Twit

Tom Gabel is the singer for the acclaimed Florida punk rock band Against Me! He also just announced in an interview with Rolling Stone that he is transgendered and will be transitioning to a woman. Meanwhile, Tim McIlrath is the singer for the politically-charged punk band Rise Against. He is currently a man, and, as far as we know, intends to stay that way. However, due to the similarities in th
