Hollywood, a collection of Twitter pictures

You’ve seen approximately a gazillion professional pictures of Hollywood, and I’m sure you’ve had the pleasure of flipping through pictures taken from out-of-state tourists. For a slightly different perspective, I present these tweeted images of Tinseltown from Southern Californians, starting with Seeson Mahathavorn from Irvine. On September 19, he tweeted “Hollywood & Highland!” and sent along this nighttime picture of the entertainment center and intersection.

Apparently, people share images of … stickers

What do people like to take pictures of on their cell phones? Well, reporters might turn to formal studies by research institutions to find the answer. Me? I turned to my 14-year-old daughter who apparently likes to take pictures of funny stickers … and she’s not alone. On September 18, Del Mar writer Denise Railey tweeted an image of her self-repaired QWERTY along with this message: “You’re a writer when your keyboard ltrs have rubbed off & you resort to stickers”

Pets sleep, owners tweet

Last night, I caught some social media guy updating his blog while sharing his sleepy status with Facebook friends. Naturally, that inspired me to create this blog post. I searched Twitter for sleepy images, and came across this bunch of furry animals taking naps.

Pssst, if you know that Brogan guy, tell him about this post by sending him a tweet. If he links to this post, our servers just might buckle under the weight of all his followers rushing to visit the site.

Enough of that Brogan business. Today’s collection begins with this image of Melissa Schuman’s “Pappy sleeping in his buh bye bag.”
