With the movie The Social Network coming out next month, Facebook really is the talk of the town. Or talk of the earth, I should rather say. The excitement relating to Facebook is largely to do with the speed at which its grown in such a short time. It is relatively new in our lives. […]
If you take into account the fact that virtually every person you know is on Facebook, I think it’s a given that this movie is going to be the talk of the WORLD, very soon! ‘The Social Network’ is Hollywood’s take on Facebook, how it started and, in particular, its main founder and chief, Mark […]
The greatest Canadian scourge since Brandon Huntley Celine Dion, Justin Bieber stirs grown men to panic. The vapid, androgynous, lesbo-chic music has taken the pubescent world by storm, and the boy girl with the pudding bowl kop chop seems to wield genuine power. As demonstrated by his latest foray into social networking, where he tweeted […]
You know who Sarah Palin is, right? She’s that most painful of creatures – a self-righteous, insular hockey mom with the backing of a powerful political party. And she’s also not very bright. Which is perhaps a great reason to keep herself AWAY from social media tools, like Twitter, for instance. The great TweetMachine has […]
No spice, the Dutch soccer team needs a place to stay. While the Uruguayans were getting an undeserved peaceful night’s sleep in Newlands (despite a small Twitter campaign calling for Capetonians to please “not” blow vuvuzelas and bang drums outside their rooms), the dutchies were bumming around the Cape of Good Hope looking for a […]
If you’re feeling a little low on self-esteem today, try this out.

All you have to do is type in your Twitter name (or any keyword […]
My buddy Shaun Trennery over at Izimvo sent me a link yesterday about something called the “Air Display,” which is a wonderful app for my new iPad (Digicape smartly gave me a test unit, before they hit our shores – so be sure to pre-book yours!). Shaun obviously caught my barrage of tweets, as I […]
Cougars… going for it. [source]
Check it out, there’s this new website that is linked to Twitter. It’s called “Twitures” and it let’s you just look at just the pictures of a specific user. See what they did there with the name? Pictures on Twitter = “Twitures.” Good one.. Here is a screenshot if you go to the 2oceansvibe Twiture […]
The other morning in the Morning Spice Headlines, we mentioned the following: Hitler “Downfall” Parodies Removed from YouTube – The movie studio responsible for the award-winning, German-Austrian film Downfall (German: Der Untergang) has asked YouTube to take down several videos from the massively popular subtitled “Hitler finds out…” meme, and the site has complied. Oh […]
I can’t remember when I actually commanded my Twitter to follow MandyJ4‘s Twitter, but it certainly wasn’t her profile picture. Because I would’ve remembered this: MandyJ4 – not shy.. At first I thought it was some model who I was following on Twitter (as you do), but then when I checked out her profile I […]
I know my inbox is going to regret opening this Facebook can of worms, but they really are very amusing. We’ve seen the one about the girlfriend who tricks the boyfriend into thinking she was another girl, and we thoroughly enjoyed the one where the brother got his own back on his sister. But today […]
They say it’s important to write your goals down – then they become more real and more attainable. Whilst this may be good in a business sense, some lists should perhaps never be written down. Take, for example, the case of Chris and Katie, the Asian kids whose sibling rivalry spun out of control. Read […]
Nothing needs to be said. You’ll get the vibe as you read it. Just hold onto your seat – it’s toooo special! I just LOVED the comeback! No, I was JOKING!! Pick up the phone.. Brilliant! *cough* …evil, twisted cow. [thanks marcus]
2oceansvibe Character (The Barndog), Springbok rugby captain and global superhero, John Smit, is getting to grips with his new Twitter account, as we see him cross the two week mark.

Those of you who watched the recent interview I did with 2oceansvibe Character, The Barndog (AKA Springbok captain, John Smit) will know that besides discussing his new book (launches on the 15th, due to an EMBARGO), we also discussed Twitter and all things tweet related. In the video I also mentioned how I had hand-reared […]
In a move which has astounded the world of traditional media and saluted the world of digital media and technology in general, an off-the-record statement about rapper Kanye West, made by American president (and very close friend of mine), Barack Obama, was released on Twitter and circulated the globe within seconds; reaching YOU – right […]
Health, fire and safety regulators really have taken things to the next level. I mean, the sticker stuck next to fire alarms couldn’t have changed too much over the years. But now, in 2009, they feel that Twitter, of all things, should crack a mention. Please enjoy this (third from the bottom of the list): […]
So Twitter is coming along nicely here in South Africa. We’re forming our own cute little networks and followers and tweets and twats, building up followers and finding out about new people and things to follow on a daily basis. Some recent additions of mine that I am following include Steve Buscemi and the Gumball […]
This is good. These guys have put together a spoof of the Twitter craze sweeping the world. This time it’s called Flutter and instead of a maximum of 140 characters per message, it’s a max of 26 characters. It’s really well done and nearly a carbon copy of a genuine doccie I watched on the […]
As I’ve said in a multitude of previous posts, there are various famous people that you can follow on Twitter. One of them is Ashton Kutcher. I don’t follow Ashton because I’m a fan of his. I follow him because I’ve been waiting for him to do something like this: Ashton Kutcher tweets a […]
I bought Lily Allen ‘s new album, It’s not me, it’s you on iTunes (linked to an overseas credit card) while I was in Plett this weekend. We played it in the car on the way back and, I gotta say it, I dig it. I hereby declare Lily Allen “cool.” Some of the guys […]

Talya G alerted me to a tweet on Matthew Buckland’s Twitter page (no, I do not say those words with a straight face) showing a paraglider who clearly missed his mark and ploughed straight into the wall, smashing a window at the restaurant above and landing, BANG, in front of Vida e. Not sure of […]
I hadn’t taken out a DVD for a while and popped into DVD Nouveau (where else) on Sunday. I got Step Brothers with Will Farrell (6/10 – you can skip that one) and Dead Calm with Billy Zane (it was the right thing to do – and it was good – get it). Although I […]
I only watched the Oscars last night, as the live broadcast (early yesterday morning) was on during my dealings with Mercedes Benz. In case you missed my Twitting, I dropped off my car and was put into an A-Class Merc as I joined a lift club from the Culemborg Orbit Motors to The Safe House. […]
