To Tweet or Not To Tweet...

...that is the question! Since Twitter was created in 2006, it has become a way of worldwide connection. Want to see what people are tweeting about in Brazil, it's a click away. Want the link to Trey Songz's newest video? Go to his Twitter page, we're sure he posted it. Want to know what's new at your favorite blog (which happens to be elleELLEeye)? You better be following them! But why Twitter?

For many people, Twitter has become their go-to e-spot to find out what they want to know. Whether you're looking for info on your favorite musicians, blogs, countries, etc., you can always put it in your favorite search engine. However, many adults and teens alike choose to look up the latest tweet about their subject of choice.

What do you think? Do you tweet? Why tweet? Do you use twitter to look up information, about your favorite subjects? What makes Twitter so different from Facebook? Let us know by leaving a comment!

Giveaway: Hana Professional Flat Iron

Looking for a flat iron that's just right for your type of hair? Well, you can always go with a regular ceramic flat iron, but you may be interested in the Hana. According to DC Beauty,

The Hana has five temperature settings suitable for fine, medium or coarse hair. The highest temperature is hot enough to straighten curls while the lowest is great for reducing frizz or creating bounce. I must warn you however that the highest temperature, 450 degrees, is very hot and should be used with caution as fine hair can be damaged easily.

How much does one cost? Not for you to worry about, because you can win one! How? Just follow these simple steps:

1. Follow Misikko on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/misikko
2. Blog about this giveaway on your own personal site ie. Facebook, Blogger etc.
3. Post a comment including your name, email, and the link to your personal site containing the blog.

The winner will be announced on May 3rd, so stay tuned and have your fingers crossed! Shoutout to DC Beauty for the scoop!

It's All About the Benjamins Baby!

With the economy in such a rut, many are wondering why doesn't the government just print up a bunch of money until we get back on our feet, right? Well, it looks like some of that wish will be coming true. On February 10, 2011, a new will One-Hundred-Dollar-Bill go into circulation. Why? Well, this Benjamin will be equipped with a 3-D Security Ribbon. This ribbon is has images of bells and 100s that move and change from one to the other as the bill is moved. A second feature is called Bell in the Inkwell. The bell has special ink that changes color from green to bronze when the bill is moved. So say goodbye to the counterfeit and hello to the new and improved Benjis.

What do you think about the new $100 bill? COMMENT!

eyeWatch: "Ride" + "Holla at Me"

Wow! That is the first word that comes to mind after watching Ciara's new video "Ride" featuring Ludacris. The video is very basic; however, if you blink you may miss Cici air grinding and poppin' her boo-tay lol. I'm sure the fellas will love this one and the ladies might take some notes. "Ride" is from her forthcoming Basic Instinct album due out later this year. Happy watching!

Video Link

In other news, Chris Brown also released his video for the sing "Holla At Me" featuring Tyga. Chris is rap talking on this one and it's definitely a dance/party track. The video was directed by Alex Nazari. Happy watching!
