Here is what we’re watching on TV

Want to know what people are watching on television these days? You could check the latest Nielsen ratings, or try TV.com. But if you’re a social geek, just listen to what those hep kids are saying on Twitter. Of course, a television is used to watch more than just TV shows. Paul Ongpin of San Diego shared this picture recently when he was “Watching Ziggy Stardust concert on HD.”

Here are other pictures shared by Southern Californians on Twitter as they sat in front of the boob tube.

Is it already Christmas?

While we stuff ourselves with Halloween leftovers, stores and shopping centers are filling their aisles and displays with Christmas decorations and gift ideas. The holiday spirit is creeping into some homes, too. But even when L.A.’s Marsha Collier wasn’t at home, she still found it in here to share some holiday spirit merchandising with this picture. “This man is starting Christmas: ‘I believe, I believe’ Macys window San Francisco”

Here are more Christmas-related images shared by Southern Californians on Twitter.

Starbucks fans confirms, ’tis the season

Starbucks has their Twitter marketing down. On November 3, they asked people to share pictures of their holiday #RedCup … and people did. Starbucks then posted a link to all those pictures. But those pics came from all over the world. Let’s see what Southern Californians contributed. Heck, it doesn’t really matter which one I start with, right? Let’s go with Vanessa Zavala of Anaheim, who shared this image and cheerfully tweeted, “holiday cups at starbucks! :) ”
