A report came out this week about Twitter, regarding how users new to Twitter use the service, a STATE OF THE TWITTERSPHERE, if you will.
In short, the conclusion is that the vast majority of Twitter accounts are inactive at best. Some users sign in and tweet just once, resulting in an “ORPHAN TWEET“. If you happen to run across one yourself, feel free to retweet it with the #orphantweet hashtag.

Glamour Magazine recently reported the RESULTS OF A SURVEY THAT ASKED 1,000 WOMEN ABOUT THEIR BATHROOM (and other gross) HABITS.

The New York Post recently had an article entitled WHEN IT COMES TO WEIGHT LOSS, CUT 100 – CALORIES, THAT IS!
The article points out one simple fact: if you eat 100 fewer calories a day for an entire year and change absolutely nothing else about your exercise or diet plan, then you will be taking in 36,500 fewer calories over the course of those 365 days.
100 fewer calories a day. That should be easy.
One less fat-free Jell-O Pudding Cup.
One less slice of bread.
One less bottle of original VitaminWater (the full caloric version).
