#ReasonsToBeatYourGirlfriend Trended This Weekend On Twitter

#ReasonsToBeatYourGirlfriend on Twitter

My love/hate relationship with Twitter grew ever-so-slightly more complicated this weekend when the hashtag #ReasonsToBeatYourGirlfriend trended on Sunday. (For the Twitter-uninitiated, a hashtag is a word or phrase prefaced by the # sign, which usually describes a theme people are talking about — for example, #JetsGame or #AmericanIdol.) When a hashtag or phrase becomes so popular that it is one of the top 10 topics people are discussing, it is listed for all to see on the homepage of Twitter. This is called "trending." Now, to be fair, part of the reason that #ReasonsToBeatYourGirlfriend was "trending" was because people were criticizing the subject. But #ReasonsToBeatYourGirlfriend would not have attracted so much attention in the first place if people weren't actually tweeting responses to it.
