Twitter index: Bee Gees star Robin Gibb dies, ‘Grand Theft Auto’ lessons

Microbloggers are grieving over the death of Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb who lost his battle with cancer late Sunday night.

“Sadly Robin Gibb has passed away May 20th, 10:47 UK time,” read a tweet from Robin Gibb’s official Twitter account @RobinGibb.

“Jut heard about Robin Gibb. I am devastated. Can't believe it. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,” “So sad to hear of the loss of The Bee Gee's, @RobinGibb, Another legend lost. Our hearts go out to Barry Gibb and Robin's entire family” and “Sad news about Robin Gibb...Should be a good disco in Heaven this week with Robin & Donna Summer there. Hope they both Rest In Peace” read tweets mourning the loss of the great star.

There are many lessons to be learned from playing the action-adventure driving game Grand Theft Auto say microbloggers. Grand Theft Auto taught me “I don't need to save up to buy a nice car.. I can just violently steal one,” “if you shoot a cop but hide for a good 5 minutes... everyone will just forget all about it,” “once you're bored, you begin to drive normally and obey all the traffic lights” and “cheating makes everything easier,” say Twitter users.

The hashtags “#AmorEsQue” (“Love is”) and “#Cite10Sonhos” (“Cite 10 Dreams”) are proving to be popular with Spanish-speaking microbloggers who are sharing their definitions of love and listing their top 10 dreams. Filipino users have declared today “Happy National Chaps Day.”

Tweeps are confessing their love for teenage pop stars Justin Bieber and Joe Jonas with first and seventh place terms “Justin <3” and “We Love Joe J.”

Twitterers are listing their dream places, singing their favorite song choruses and explaining that the acronym “YOLO means you obviously love Oreos.”
