Top 10 List | Top Ten Lists

There have been celebrity feuds since there were movies, TV shows, radio broadcasts etc., but before the rise of social media these feuds were published through comments made in magazines and newspapers. Now, with the popularity of Twitter, millions of followers can watch their favorite celebrities duke it out in real-time!

This a top 10 list of scandalous Celebrity Twitter Feuds.  Some of these celebrities never seem to surprise us with their big mouths:

1. Joan Rivers vs. Lindsay Lohan

Winner: Joan Rivers

Former actress and the jailbird and naughty Lindsay Lohan is consistent water cooler fodder because of her hard-partying ways, but she did not react well to Joan Rivers’ barbs as she faced the judge for violating the probation terms of her 2007 drug and alcohol case.

After Rivers tweeted one-liners like, “Lindsay Lohan said she would not mind being under oath because she thought Oath was a Norwegian ski instructor,” Lohan defended herself by tweeting, “Joan Rivers and her ‘stargument’ make me believe that she and Michael Lohan are a match made in heaven.” Geez. With all that fake tanning, you’d think LaLohan would have thicker skin. Hit the road Lindsay! You lose this one.

2. Leah Remini vs Sharon Osbourne

Winner: Sharon Osbourne

After Remini was fired from The Talk, she blamed one person and that was Sharon Osbourne. “Sharon thought me and Holly were ‘ghetto’” she tweeted. “We were not funny, awkward and didn’t know ourselves. She has the power that was given to her.”

Osbourne responded, “In response to Leah Remini’s continuous comments that I had her fired from “The Talk, let me just go on the record to say I had absolutely nothing to do with her departure from the show and have no idea why she continues to take to Twitter to spread this false gossip.”

Remini wrote later, “I will not respond to Sharon BUT only to say this, IF she wanted to clear it up she has my number & has had ALL this time and didn’t use it not even to say she was sorry. so to Sharon I say… Well done Sharon, you won. I will move on now as you suggested. And so should u. Be at Peace.”

Sharon Osbourne won the catfight since she was the one who kept her job. Someone teach them to write grammatically!

3. Fox News’ Andy Levy vs. Chris Brown

Winner: Andy Levy

R&B singer Chris Brown, well known for his sensitive and self-aware demeanor, recently tweeted, “No more planking for me unless it’s on a sexy lady! Lol,” obviously referring to the Internet meme that compels idiots to lie flat on a surface while somebody snaps a photo. Fortunately, the irony – and the opportunity for wordplay – of Brown’s tweet was not lost. In perhaps the most genius retweet ever, Andy Levy, host of Fox News’ “Red Eye,” added, “You spelled ‘punching’ wrong.” The problem is, nobody puts Crybaby Chris in a corner. Brown immediately called Levy out for conducting himself in a manner not even suited for children, to which Levy eventually digressed.

4. George Lopez vs. Kirstie Alley

Winner: Kirstie Alley

Recently canceled talk-show host George Lopez tweeted jokes, the butt of which was Kirstie Alley, after an end-of-March performance by the former Fat Actress on “Dancing with the Stars.” Lopez referred to Alley as a little piggy, tweeting that before the show “she went to the market and then she had roast beef.” Alley wasn’t amused. After her fans demanded an apology from Lopez, Alley huffed and puffed and blew his glass house down when she cleverly compared Lopez, a self-professed alcoholic, to a “big bad, drunk woolf” who meets his demise by falling “in a boiling pot of vodka.”

What do you think about the feud? Does it make you love Alley more for standing up for herself? Or do you think her replies to Lopez were just as insensitive? Sound off in the comments below.

George Lopez later made  an announcement via Twitter saying that he was sorry for joking about the size of Dancing with the Stars contestant Kirstie Alley. “I misjudged the joke,” the comedian said in a Tweet.

5. Samantha Ronson vs. Lindsay Lohan

Winner: Samantha Ronson

Another fight another loss for Lindsay.

During their rocky relationship in 2009, not only did DJ Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan have public blowouts, but Lindsay also took out her frustrations on her lover to her Twitter fanbase: “You JUST told me that your friends are worth more than I am to your family.” On another occasion, Lohan proclaimed that Ronson had been cheating on her, tweeting: “I was right all along. Cheat.”

When it comes to job searching, most of us quote this saying “It is not what you know, it is who you know,” especially in this age of social media where we’re more connected than ever before. More job seekers are using social media to find and research new opportunities – while employers are using it to find good candidates for employment.

But many people are still making small and preventable mistakes. We’ve all heard of the dangers come with posting on Facebook  and Twitter. Just take a look at our post Top 10 Disastrous Social Media Campaigns and you will see what I mean.

But other smaller mistakes could be harmful. Not updating a LinkedIn profile or not separating private and professional social networks can damage your career opportunities. And few people use the full power of their social networks.

A surveydone by Kelly Services Inc. found that less than 25%  of American job searchers were more likely to use social media than traditional methods, such as newspapers, job boards and recruitment firms. And many people aren’t aware that well-known companies such as Starbucks, Citibank and UPS use  Social Media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to recruit.

This article highlights top 10 suggestions for social networking that will help you when you’re job searching,  trying to market yourself effectively, and connect with people who can help with you find a job.

Let us know what worked and what didn’t and whether you had success.

Tips:

• Keep the information you publish on your personal social media profiles clean and professional, you do not want to follow in the footsteps of the American Red Cross employee who used the company twitter account to make a not so funny joke. This  may increase your chances of getting hired when your profile is seen by potential employers.

• Reply to and follow up in a professional manner with individuals in your social media audience who rebut or challenge your opinions or argument. This will demonstrate to potential employers that you are  open to constructive criticism feedback and can effectively handle negative comments without coming across as defensive or unprofessional.

1. Create Profiles

Build marketable, professional profiles for yourself. Include your job history going back no more than 15 to 20 years as well as your education and skills. LinkedIn is an obvious place for such a profile, but Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ are just as good for this type of information. These profiles should demonstrate not only what you’ve accomplished, but where your strengths lie and what you can offer future employers. Leave the ball in your hands and make a compelling argument, one that an employer cannot refuse.

2. Network

Connect with others in  your industry. LinkedIn’s Groups is the perfect place to start. Search the directory to find the relevant groups for your industry, join those that appear active and have numerous followers and then make sure that you introduce yourself to the other members so that they know who you are. Most importantly, be sure to build your social capital and become known as the source for quality content.

3. Add pictures

If you do not have a picture,  make sure you add one and that represents your in a professional manner! Never include images that are unprofessional and something that you would not want to show your own mother. Be weary of what you post on Facebook and Google, because with the advanced search options,  your information may easily spread beyond your friends and into the hands of unintended parties. Check out Facebook new social graph info.

Tip: Use a single photo, which identifies who you are. You’re imagination is the limit, but be careful with what you post. You don’t want to reveal too much info.

4. Show your expertise

Do not be afraid to show your expertise. Every time there is something to report, report it. Link it and feed it onto social media platforms.

Be careful with what you post, you may want to double check grammar, spelling and make certain that there is nothing offensive.

5. Meaningful connects

Connect with people, but make certain that you are upfront about it. Don’t send a default message; that’s unprofessional! Give your connections a reason to network with you. If you really want an in, tell them you’d love to learn more about their company and any positions they have opening. People love to talk about themselves and you can find more ways to get an in.

It is equally important to engage with individuals who are already working in your field, even close friends. This will help expose and promote your skills and content to potential employers. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and Twitter all have a side bar, which suggest relevent user.

A well-planned online marketing and social media marketing strategy is to use all channels of traffic to bring qualified leads and traffic to your website. If you still haven’t started with Twitter, then 2013 is the best year to start. Twitter is currently growing at a very fast rate with over 200 Million users in Dec 2012. Almost every celebrity uses it to tweet gossip, updates and even their views on global issues.

This post will not be about how to setup a twitter account but on how to use Twitter #hashtags for your Local Business. Basically, twitter hashtags are words that includes the number operator sign (# sign). When one click on the link associated with a #, they’ll see the latest messages from people who have included those hashtags in their messages. Hashtags are very important because they allow you to find highly targeted and relevant twitter users in your area or niche.

1.  Figure out the purpose

The primary reason for using a hashtag in a tweet is to emphasize a particular issue or theme that other people can then connect themselves with by utilizing the same hashtag.

A perfect example is Adidas’ use of the hashtag #takethestage during the 2012 London Olympics, which enabled other users to tweet their views about the Olympics and the athletes featured in Adidas’ marketing campaign.

This automatic indexing is important as it helps users find out information linked to their interest on a social rather than search optimized basis.

2. #Don’t #overdo the hashtags

As mentioned, hashtags are designed to index content based on a common theme  and to make it easier for users search.

Therefore, it’s annoying for other users (and looks very amateurish) when someone incessantly hash tags every word in their tweet . This is actually considered spamming  and not a good social media marketing or SEO practice.

A good parody account that makes fun of this problem is @Chino_Wanker.

So, instead of jumping on three hashtags to make sure your content is viewed by others, just pick the most relevant possible hashtag and use that instead.

3. Make #Hashtags Short, Sweet and to the Point

Twitter is based around short form content – 140 characters or less – so avoid using long hashtags. You are also creating less  room for other users to contribute their own views.

Long hashtags are also tricky to read and easy to misspell, meaning the content won’t be associated with its intended conversations.

Finding short, creative hashtags is becoming a painstaking task as the platform becomes more popular, but it’s better to come up with something brief and creative than something long and precise.

4. Don’t change the hashtag halfway through your campaign

Once you’ve selected your hashtag, stick to it. A change  halfway through the campaign will result in split up conversations or will force people to use two different hashtags, which again limits their ability to contribute to the conversation.

Take a look at Adidas’ Olympic Marketing Campaign for a perfect example to follow.

5. Join & Promote your Hashtags
To become an effective hashtags, you would need to stick yours on all your social media websites, on your print marketing materials and even at the bottom of your emails, and so on.

However, there is  a reason behind the use, so make sure to include a call-to-action asking your customers to join the discussions or voice their views and opinions.

These days, website servers often fail. It is nothing new. But when you are fully into it and find for yourself that your Twitter ditched you all of a sudden, you can’t do much but sit on your chair abusing the nasty servers that did it this time. The reason why a website goes down is not necessary to us. All that we are here for is to have fun.
Never mind, now that your Twitter has gone down, you need to find out ways to get out of this incident and do something fun-filled and exciting. Here are some funny ways to cope with the Twitter going down incident. It is not meant to be offensive in any way and requested to be taken on a lighter note only!

1. Immediately when you notice that Twitter is down, you can recollect all that you did today in your kitchen and think if you took a bath at all. If you haven’t, then it is time to hit the shower right away. Spend more time in the shower so that you can pamper your body with all the care it needs.

2. Play some games that you have on your computer or even try the online games that are silly but fun. There are also certain girly games that you might be interested in playing if you are a girl.

3. So what if Twitter is not there, you can log into Yahoo Chat and get into one of the chat rooms that are full of stalkers and have fun by pulling their legs just like they do to others.

4. Turn on the television and watch your favourite show. If nothing worth it is on the TV, then choose a movie you want to watch from your collection and go for it right away. You can also take your dog out to the lawn and start playing with him or her. This is the best past time activity according to me.

5. Wash your clothes and dry it in your yard. If you haven’t taken care of your garden for long, you need to consider doing it now. Also, you might require washing your car or bike that has never received attention at all.
