This is what Twitter used to look like (vowel-less). Also, best part: Look what Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom tweeted.

Hey guys! So, as you may (or may not) know, I’m a part of the HuffPost Girls in STEM program! I’ve been working over the past several weeks with my amazing mentor Emilie learning about memories and how we store and remember them. So, as a part of this project, we decided to do a small project about memories—specifically, mapping about the brain networks through which memories are encoded and retrieved.
To do this, we need some sample memories.
This is where you guys come in!
It’d be fantastic if you guys could volunteer some memories for our project for us to analyze—it’s completely anonymous so if you write about the time you accidentally slipped and fell in front of your entire science class we won’t know it’s you ;)
Any memory will suffice—although we know you guys have some interesting ones. Maybe one time your neighbor’s cat looked at you kind of funny? Or maybe you accidentally dropped an egg but managed to catch it before it hit the ground and you decided that you were probably a ninja.
Don’t fail us now, Tumblr.
Just fill out the short survey linked below and you’re done! Do it.
For science.
DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!

The cable industry wants Internet users to go on a diet.
Cable companies have been testing a new business model that charges customers based on how much data they use, and penalizes them for exceeding those limits. Time Warner, the nation’s second-largest cable provider, now offers such tiered plans to customers nationwide.

For people tired of paying $40 or more a month for Internet, a new startup offers enticing tradeoff: free service with limits on how much YouTube or Netflix videos they can watch.
FreedomPop, which launched its home Internet service this week, is delivering broadband for free — or as little as $10 per month, depending on how much data subscribers want to use. The wireless service comes limits on online video consumption and is slower than most connections from cable companies.
But FreedomPop is betting that consumers are willing to sacrifice speed and unlimited Internet consumption for substantially lower monthly broadband bills.
“My goal is to disrupt the market and introduce competition that brings down prices to consumers,” said FreedomPop chief executive Stephen Stokols. “We’re looking to shake up home broadband in a big way.”
