Twitter's mobile advertising arm enables its clients to use a hidden, undeletable tracking number created by Verizon to track user behavior on smartphones and tablets.

What the heck? Singer Cee Lo Green took to Twitter to claim that it's only "real" rape if the victim remembers the assault. Since when did talent show judges start repeating the insane mantras of Republicans?

Over half of all requests for personal information from Twitter came from the United States, and that doesn't even include requests made under the 'national security' designation that forbids Twitter from releasing that information. And overall requests continue to increase.

Republicans are trying their very hardest to scrub from the internet any and all praise, including "thoughts and prayers," for Bowe Bergdahl.

Led by retired Army Colonel Harry Riley and name-jacking the Arab Spring, a bunch of right-wingers tried to throw a revolution over the weekend in Washington, D.C. Called "Operation American Spring," not very many people showed up. The promoters were expecting 10 million to 30 million. That didn't happen. There wasn't a single estimate that even approached four digits. Many denizens in the Twitter universe responded with sarcasm and these are the best of those.

Much to the surprise of people of color everywhere, racism is dead — and even more surprisingly, the Republican National Committee was the first organization to break the news. It may have come from an ill-worded tweet, but the lack of understanding certainly says quite a bit about the GOP's awareness.

It's hard to find the more glaring error out of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's camp: the awful Photoshopping or the atrocious grammar. Of course, that's short-sighting the overall wrongfulness of the link tweeted out by McConnell's political director, Iris Wilbur.

It's been linked with violence, cyberbullying, school woes, obesity, lack of sleep and a host of other problems. It's not a major cause of these troubles, but "many parents are clueless" about the profound impact media exposure can have on their children, said Dr. Victor Strasburger, lead author of the new American Academy of Pediatrics policy.
