Sean Kingston has been inspired by the world wide web, and the result is a new song about the micro blogging tool Twitter.  The song, which he’s probably hoping is an internet sensation was first released by Sean on his own Twitter account, which seems appropriate since it is called the “Twitter SONG (Follow Me).”

Britney’s proven time and again that’s she’s a maven in the technological world.  From joining the race to be the first Twitter member to ever reach a million followers, to coming up with her own iPhone/iTouch app so that she can keep in touch with her fans all the time!  The new app appropriately titled, “It’s Britney!” is designed to help fans keep in touch with Britney, while following her career moves and private message updates!  Check out the features on the app first posted on Britney Spears’ website:

It's Britney, iPhone App.

Be Britney’s Dancer: All you need is a photo of yourself and within seconds you’ll have a photo of you onstage with Britney. Users are able to upload their newly created photo to be featured on Britney’s website, www.Britneyspears.com, and share with their friends or upload on Facebook, Twitter and more.

Messages From Britney: Britney will be communicating directly with users by dropping exclusive messages.

It's Britney, iPhone App.

In addition to that, my favorite feature on the phone is shaking it.  Whenever you do that it causes the phone to respond with a recording of Brit saying, “It’s Britney, Bitch!”  Overall, the app is a brilliant way for Britney to keep in touch with her super fans.  It’s easy to use and the execution used to make it is great.  It’s a definite must have for any Britney super fan, especially at it’s $1.99 price!  What could be better than that?  Having video to prove it to you!  Check out the video and let us know if you’ll be one of the people getting it so that you can play with Britney all day long!

T-Pain decided that auto-tune was bigger than the recording studio and because of this, he teamed up with software company Smule & iTunes to bring the auto-tune audio capability to iPhones everywhere. The iPhone application allows users to auto-tune their voice among other things after downloading the app for $2.99.

T-Pain

Essentially, T-Pain’s idea was born out of necessity; the necessity to be more awesome than all the other artists out there with iPhone applications. After teaming up with Smule, they collaborated and realized T-Pain’s perfect iPhone application would be auto-tune for the iPhone.

“It’s actually the same software that I use in the studio, so if anybody actually wanted to be T-Pain, then there you go,” T-Pain said.

I wonder if this application will lead to the birth of many up & coming T-Pains. I for one realize that I never fully understood my musical potential until I downloaded T-Pain’s application. You can check out my auto tune’s here, as well as download the application. And since then, well let’s say I’ve become a maestro of sorts.

Have you downloaded T-Pain’s application? If so, leave a link to your tunes in the comment section and share your work with the world!

Dear Orlando,

Recently I found myself in a battle with my Ex over various social websites like Facebook and Twitter.  After we broke up we decided to still be friends and keep in contact, but things went terribly wrong.  I was out with friends when I ran into him drunk and he was all over some girl that we both know.  I was disgusted and pissed that he was doing that right in front of me!  When I got home I went on Facebook and changed my status to:  OF ALL THE THINGS I HAVE EVER BEEN A DRUNK RAPEY A$$HOLE IS NOT ONE OF THEM.  This begin a week long war between us on Facebook and Twitter, ending with me deleting him as a friend.  Should I never bring him up on there anymore?  I am just so mad that I want to continue to comment about what an idiot he is.  It is my right to use social networks as I please, right?

Sincerely,

Tweeting with fury

Miley's Twitter.

Oh Tweeting,

You made one of the cardinal mistakes of social networking: b*tchin’ about an ex out of frustration to get attention from them.  Let’s face it, you went out of your way to go home and let him know online what a piece of crap you thought he was. If homeboy had the tiniest bit of intelligence he’d have deleted you the second he saw your status update and ignored you FOREVER.  Obviously, the two of you have unfinished business, but get a grip and some self worth.  Bickering over Facebook or Twitter does not make you a lady, it makes you a child, like Miley Cyrus, who’s been in some heated exchanges with her own ex Justin via Twitter.  Take it from me, if you really want to hurt a man ignore him forever and move on with your life.  Nothing burns like knowing you cannot phase someone anymore.

Love,

Orlando

Tweet tweet! 

After a crazy week of celebrity deaths (Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays, Ed McMahon), one hacker decided it would be funny to hack Britney Spears’ Twitter account and pronounce her dead as well. 

 Britney Spears

The update read:

“Britney has passed today.  It is a sad day for everyone.  More news to come.”

Attached was a photo of a cross.

More news: this tweet is FALSE.

Thankfully, the tweet was removed from the social networking site soon after it was posted.  Apparantly Ellen DeGeneres’ and Diddy’s accounts were also hacked with fake death accouncements. 

Twitter needs to get their security under control!  Death is not funny no matter how you look at it.
