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

GeekSugar — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 01:47:09 PDT

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.

Who Wears the Angled Bob Best?

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?

Rihanna Campaigns for Bone Marrow

Rihanna isn't just a soulful and talented singer who gets you moving during your workouts. She's also an advocate for saving children's lives. In 2006, Rihanna founded The Believe Foundation, because she feels the only way to secure our future is to take care of children, who will become the future leaders of our world. And now, Rhianna is raising awareness about leukemia - a disease that kills more children in the US than any other disease - with her new PSA.

The Believe Foundation has partnered with DKMS, an organization that connects bone marrow and stem cell donors with patients in need. Rihanna is urging people to go to refresheverything.com and vote for DKMS, so it can win a $250K grant. If DKMS wins the funding, it'll help the organization recruit 4,000 bone marrow donors, which means 4,000 children's lives saved from this devastating disease. You can vote every day in April. It's really easy to vote, and if the organization wins, you'll know you did your part to help.
