Study: Twitter is 80% "Meformers" and 20% Informers

Study: Twitter is 80% "Meformers" and 20% Informers

The Miami Herald on a new study about Twitter psychology...

"The communication and information professors, Mor Naaman and Jeffrey Boase, found that there tend to be two types of Twitter folks. The majority, or 80 percent, were what they called 'meformers' -- Twitter users who sent out messages that revolved around themselves, updating others about their activities or sharing thoughts and feelings.

The other 20 percent are 'informers' -- people who were actually sharing information. Not surprisingly, the informers tended to have larger social networks and be more interactive."


If you're going to attract a swarm you gotta inform. Full study embedded below.

Fashion + Recession= Recessionista

Fashion + Recession= Recessionista
A former fashionista on this new quest for fine items at an affordable cost. In this economy who said looking stylish always has to come with a price tag?!! So many celeb worn designers have created their own chic line for our favorite stores! My favorite must have summer collection just released over the weekend is by Matthew Williamson for H&M inspired by his previous collections of vivid graphic prints, studs and metallic sheen pieces. The collection even features swimwear to die for.. makes me want to take a vacation where there’s warm weather, the colorful lineup is so fun! Look stylishly chic while still banking some cash!

Funny Interviews: Jason Reitman Answers Questions NOT On His Pie Chart and Jason Schwartzman as Wes Anderson in Stop-Motion

Funny Interviews: Jason Reitman Answers Questions NOT On His Pie Chart and Jason Schwartzman as Wes Anderson in Stop-Motion
A couple of unusual interviews have hit the web today. The is first from our friends at FilmSchoolRejects, who talked to director Jason Reitman, not about his new movie Up in the Air, but instead quizzed the filmmaker on the pie chart he keeps of all the questions asked while on his press tour. Rejects Managing Editor Dr. Cole  Abaius wrote the following: "Instead of asking the usual, boring questions that have clearly been retread as much as 83 times, I decided to take the one word or two word codes for each entry and base my questions off of those. Even though he’s a talented director, and I’m a complete moron, Reitman was magnanimous enough to play along." The second of which was conducted by MoviesOnline.ca, with Fantastic Mr. Fox star Jason Schwartzman pretending to be director Wes Anderson, in a movie website first -- an interview which was conducted entirely in stop-motion animation.

A couple of unusual interviews have hit the web today.

The is first from our friends at FilmSchoolRejects, who talked to director Jason Reitman, not about his new movie Up in the Air, but instead quizzed the filmmaker on the pie chart he keeps of all the questions asked while on his press tour. Rejects Managing Editor Dr. Cole  Abaius wrote the following: “Instead of asking the usual, boring questions that have clearly been retread as much as 83 times, I decided to take the one word or two word codes for each entry and base my questions off of those.

The second of which was conducted by MoviesOnline.ca, with Fantastic Mr. Fox star Jason Schwartzman pretending to be director Wes Anderson, in a movie website first — an interview which was conducted entirely in stop-motion animation. The great thing about this interview is they don’t even talk about Fantastic Mr. Fox… at all.

I love both of these interviews because they are both funny in their own way, the participants seem to be willing (even if they didn’t know entirely what they were getting themselves into), and both go uncomfortably awry near the end. Check out both interviews, embedded after the jump.

Penelope Cruz Loves To Rope Dance

Penelope Cruz Loves To Rope Dance

Penelope Cruz would like to set up ropes to swing around her bedroom. The star had to film a detailed song and dance rope act for her recent motion picture 'Nine', and in spite of damaging her hands on the set she would like to make the most of her training. Director Rob Marshall told a celebrity magazine, "The day we were filming her big act in the midst of the act she does this exercise with ropes and she was getting around on them and it was chilling and she had acquired calluses and her hands were bloody. "There is this vast sheath of pinkish satin she glides downward on. Once we completed the act she had vanished in back of the satin and was crying. I asked, 'Are you distressed with what you executed?' She sounded out, 'No, no, it's that it is ended and I enjoyed every moment. I wish to set up ropes in my bedroom then I do not have to relinquish it.' " Sophia Loren co-stars in the motion picture and she drew together so powerfully with Penelope, they were inconsolable at the final stage of shooting. Penelope has previously acknowledged she found out filming the motion picture a highly rewarding and excited undergoing.

It's all about the eyes

It's all about the eyes
No, kim does not wear eyelash extensions. But she uses an eyelash grower called Revitalash. It's amazing! It makes your eyelashes grow soooo much! She also uses a MAC brown eyeshadow to fill her eyebrows in a little bit. It's called "walnut." It works really well for her. If she need to fill in some more, she uses the MAC eyebrow pencil called "lingering." So gorgous!!!

Bob Marley soon to be Richest Dead Celeb

Bob Marley soon to be Richest Dead Celeb
Is reggae superstar Bob Marley bigger than Jesus? That's debatable, but the music legend who died 28 years ago is about to challenge Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson for the title of richest dead celebrity.


Some of the merchandise available on the Official Bob Marley online store.



Toronto-based private-equity firm Hilco Consumer Capital has struck a management deal with the Marley estate, which is expected to generate worldwide annual sales in excess of $1 billion by 2012. That seems like a huge number, but by some estimates the Marley name, sound, and image already generate as much as $600 million in pirated merchandise."Marley is a strong global brand," says Mickey Goodman, a professional marketer and professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. "He enjoys a high level of awareness, and people feel positive about his music."




The Exoudus album was voted in 1999 by Time magazine as the greatest album of the 20th century! Still making Marley some dough!


Major licensing agreements for the Marley brand are about to be launched in two key areas: consumer electronics -- including headphones, docking stations, and speakers -- and health care, which will likely feature skin-care products and herbal supplements. Also in the works, according to Hilco, are deals for a Marley-branded calming beverage, a video game similar to Guitar Hero featuring Marley's songs, and a chain of restaurants celebrating the music superstar.


Could this be commercial overkill for the Rastafarian whose spiritual songs about social injustice, hope, and redemption have become anthems for billions of fans, from Marrakech to Tokyo, and will it alienate them?"This is not just about money," says Jamie Salter, Hilco's chief executive. "We have to believe in the people and products we partner with." Salter adds that the Marley estate will have final say on all business ventures, and that charities will figure into the overall mix of Marley branding.



Licensing of dead celebrities is an industry that has exploded in the last decade, thanks in large part to the proliferation of websites and blogs devoted to their memory. Typically, an estate receives 10% to 15% of gross proceeds from a licensing deal, which in this case will be divided between Hilco and the Marley family.The artist who created such reggae hits as "One Love," "No Woman, No Cry," and "I Shot the Sheriff" fathered a total of 13 children, some out of wedlock, and it's not clear how many are included in the estate.

Salter declined to explain how proceeds will be divided between his management company -- which also has an equity stake in a number of high-profile brands, including Polaroid, Sharper Image, and fashion label Halston -- and the Marleys.However, at a conservative 10%, licensing fees from $1 billion in annual sales should pull in about $100 million for Hilco and the Marleys. That tops the latest figures reported for Presley ($55 million), John Lennon ($15 million), and Jimi Hendrix ($8 million).Michael Jackson -- who is worth more dead than alive with an estimated $90 million in earnings in the last 12 months -- appears to be Marley's nearest rival for the richest-dead-celebrity crown. However, much of Jackson's reversal of fortune is due to a sharp spike in the sales of his albums and merchandise in the weeks following his death, as well as the one-time success of "This Is It," a film documenting rehearsals for shows he never performed at London's O2 arena.





Bob's son Rohan is in charge of Marley Coffee, yet another product using the Marley Brand



But the danger of operating the Marley marketing machine in overdrive is that it could irreparably harm the natural mystic's image. Some brand experts now view Elvis as more of a caricature than icon as a result of overexposure.For Sanjay Sood, director of the Entertainment & Media Management Institute at UCLA, there's one question to ask: If Marley were alive today, would he want his name associated with a particular product? "A lot of artists would say 'no,'" says Sood. "Otherwise, they would have done it when they were alive."Presley's estate, which is managed by New York-based CKX, launched a line of clothing that turned out to be a bust. (CKX also controls the Muhammad Ali brand and has an equity stake in the company that produces the "American Idol" television show.)More recently, Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has licensed her husband's song "Real Love" to be used by JC Penny (JCP, Fortune 500) in television ads, and she's given Ben & Jerry's ice cream permission to release a Lennon-inspired flavor called "Imagine Whirled Peace."Salter of Hilco says the Marley brand has a long way to go before reaching saturation, noting he also considered doing business with the Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe, and Jimi Hendrix estates, but settled on the Rastafarian from Trench Town, Jamaica, because that's where he says he saw the biggest potential.There has never been a better time, it seems, to be a dead celebrity -- or perhaps, more precisely, the heir to a dead celebrity's name. Dont't!
