Feeling Depressed? “Sad Tweets” Won’t Help You
It’s tough out there for Twitter users. Some days, you’re unstoppable, racking up favs and retweets faster than you can count. It feels like the internet is hanging on your every word. Most days, however, it’s another story altogether. Your witty observations, hilarious links, artfully-shot food photos, and cryptic messages land with a thud, bouncing off the craniums of your followers (half of which may or may not be robots) without leaving an impact. – The Verge
This SEEMED cool, so The Average Nobodies decided to try it out…

Leaked Footage of HTC’s Next Flagship Phone (Codename M8)
Very similar design to the HTC 1, because when something isn’t broke don’t fix it. It keeps all the things that were awesome about the 1 including: aluminum unibody, dual front facing speakers, beats audio, and a large, crystal clear display. It adds a packed interior with dual cameras on the back, and a new multitasking interface. I’m already more impressed with this than the GS5. Nobody needs a heat monitor built in the phone. Also, has Samsung discovered aluminum yet?
