UK English Trending on Twitter

UK English is still a TT on the worldwide trending topics. The reason is because people are saying if you change your Facebook language settings from US English to UK English you get the old Facebook back. By Old Facebook what is meant is the normal old news feed that people are used to. The latest update to the news feed on Facebook is that fb have divided the news feed into two sections Top Stories and Recent Stories. This has not gone down well with many users. These updates from Facebook are aimed at bringing the social networking site back to relevance and also prevent many uses from leaving. All this has started after the launch of the social site from Google - Google+. Google Plus is now out of its field trial and anyone can join. In fact when you visit Google there is arrow pointing straight to the + button on top inviting users to join.

Rumor Alert: Black Sabbath not working on a New Album

Twitter is abuzz with the rumor that Black Sabbath will be reuniting to create another album. Tony Iommi has put to rest these rumors that have been circulating on the internet and on Twitter. Tony says that he had spoken to a journalist in the month of June and the same journalist prints a story in the Birmingham Mail as though the conversation happened just a day ago. 


This is his statement that puts an end to any other conclusion

"I'm saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a BLACK SABBATH reunion.


"At the time I was supporting the Home Of Metal exhibition was merely speculating shooting the breeze on something all of us get asked constantly, 'Are you getting back together?'


"Thanks to the Internet it's now gone round the world as some sort of 'official' statement on my part; absolute nonsense. I hope he's enjoyed his moment of glory, he won't have another at my expense.


"To my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better."

Vin Diesel With hair trending today

Vin Diesel is on the Trending Topics on Twitter again today and for a couple of reasons. People are wishing him a happy birthday but he was born on the 16th so that is a bit off. There are also people tweeting about Vin Diesel with hair and yes we have the photo right here for you. Then there are a few Chuck Norris type jokes being thrown in. But the main reason could be because there has been a release data announced for fast and Furious 6, but that too is old news. Then there are some female users who are tweeting physical attributes of the star with things like 'would like me some Vin Diesel'.

Well one of main reasons he is a TT on Twitter is there are photos of him with hair floating around the internet and the news that he will be acting in a movie with hair and news of the Riddik sequel. 

Vin Diesel has been planning to return for a third "Chronicles of Riddick" installment, called "Riddick." It is now set to begin filming in September and as a birthday present to Vin Diesel, "Riddick" director David Twohy sent him a piece of concept art for the movie.


Diesel posted the art on his Facebook page along with a "thank you" for all the birthday wishes. "You all know how much I love concept art, well DT sent me an image for my birthday that I had to share," he wrote. Check out the art below.


Found on his Facebook page


Wow, thank you all for the many wonderful birthday wishes, great videos, images, music and words...

This is the third birthday Our collective has shared with me, for that I am grateful.

Vindiesel.com has many of the birthday wishes if you would like to see them, they are heartfelt and cool.

P.s. You all know how much I love concept art, well DT sent me an image for my birthday that I had to share...

Gracias por todo...

Thank you for the LOVE!

Here are some Vin Diesel jokes we have thrown in
Vin Diesel invented black. In fact, he invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink.
When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Vin Diesel.
Vin Diesel played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
Vin Diesel is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
"You can't kill Vin Diesel!"

#GoPlankinTraffic trending on Twitter

#GoPlankinTraffic is now the second most popular trending topic on Twitter worldwide. Planking was a crazy started in Australia and has to do with people lying face down with their arms drawn to their sides and legs stretched straight out. This crazy has now spread around the world and has also spawned offshoots like Owling. Seems that a lot of people have had enough of this crazy. There has already been a death and a lot of  people have already lost their jobs due to dangerous planking. We have already covered the dangers of planking on Sociolatte. 


So what users are trying to say with this trend is that if you want to go planking please do so in traffic. If you go lie face down in the middle of traffic you know what will happen, we don't really need to say it. People are also telling tweeting that about stupid things others do and should go plank in traffic instead. Smart way of telling others to get away and find something better to do, if not just go and get rid of yourself. Users always find brilliant ways of getting their message across on Twitter and here is one fine example.
