MTV Uses Twitter to Track Who's Hot at the VMAs

One of my favorite parts of social networking technology is the way it can reflect to other events — especially events involving millions of people.

One of my favorite parts of social networking technology is the way it can reflect to other events — especially events involving millions of people. Last year's MTV VMAs saw a Twitter explosion early on as Taylor Swift's acceptance speech was famously interrupted by Kanye West. This year's MTV VMAs were no exception, but a new Twitter Tracker on the MTV site kept viewers informed of current Twitter trends and major traffic spikes.

A few highlights from last night's event, as documented by Twitter:

  • 300,000 VMA tweets were posted before show even started.
  • One of the most popular hashtags of the evening? The Twitter-promoted #IfBieberMetGaga tag.

Check out the rest of the list after the break.

This modern twist on the blunt bob has really taken off in Hollywood. It's a chin-length crop that's cut straight around the back, with a longer, angled layer in the front to frame the face. Do you think that Star Jones, Rihanna, Jenny McCarthy or Victoria Beckham wears it best?
