There. I said it. With orientation in the air and students returning to campus, some seem to be faced with the worry of what they did this summer.

I’ve had more than one friend ask me to help them to Tweet something in short notice. Its hard not to come off Twitter elitist, but really, jumping into tweeting is something one should not take lightly. Here’s my top five ways to begin to learn the obsession that is Twitter. 1. Find a yoda: …
Well, it looks as though Twitter definitely has Conan’s back. Mashable highlights the sentiment after Conan submits his letter to NBC letting them know that he wont just roll over for Leno.Add to this the several ‘Save Conan’ type pages and groups that have sprung up on Facebook and you start to wonder what this …
