Within hours of Mitt Romney's serious fumble on women in the workforce (he claimed to not know any as governor of Massachusetts and needed to be given "binders full of women" in order to find one or two fit to hire), Amazon.com's customer reviews on this popular office supply have taken on new meaning. Rather than getting a straightforward review of the product's durability and affordability, clever hacks have taken to the site to offer up how certain binders hold up to holding women in their place...and more.

Trying to keep the Republican veep pick a secret for as long as possible under current online media standards, Mitt Romney's campaign deserves some credit. Apparently, they hustled Rep. Paul D. Ryan out of the Wisconsin woods in a baseball cap and sunglasses. Democrats are often criticized for saying that Republicans are "uncool". Here's proving we're not all that biased - we give you the new Mr. Cool Disguise as worn by Republican VP hopeful Paul Ryan.

Mitt Romney's Twitter account is creating controversy not because of any actual tweets, but because of a sudden and dramatic spike in followers. Are they real followers? Or did the Presidential hopeful's team purchase them?

Ann Romney has been portrayed as the loving wife standing behind Mitt throughout his presidential campaign, but in a Good Morning America interview this week, she may have hurt rather than helped her husband's image—at least in the Twittersphere- when she referred to those clamoring to see more than one-year of the Romneys tax returns as "you people"

It was a lie told in the critical state of Ohio in the final days of a close campaign -- that Jeep was moving its U.S. production to China. It originated with a conservative blogger, who twisted an accurate news story into a falsehood. Then it picked up steam when the Drudge Report ran with it. Even though Jeep's parent company gave a quick and clear denial, Mitt Romney repeated it and his campaign turned it into a TV ad.

Often the people who friend or like others on Facebook aren't friends at all. According to the Washington Post, Mitt Romney lost nearly 593 Facebook friends between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Friday morning. The losses are happening so quickly, the drop in numbers can actually be watched.

There is no shortage of opinions on Twitter about this year's presidential race and candidates. The Twitter Political Index, or Twindex, launched this week will track tweets that mention President Barack Obama or presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. It's an attempt to measure the public's shifting moods, as well as to establish Twitter as "a platform for civic debate."

With rumors running rampant that GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney may have actually bought Twitter followers (you can do that you know), let's give the Mittster the benefit of the doubt. What if there really are 925,000 new Twitter users who came onto the site over the weekend (or Twitter users with relatively few Tweets to Number of People They're Following ratio: i.e., 4:1,500). Maybe these folks, and other newbies to Twitter, can get more engaged by following these tips.

Ann Romney, wife of Mitt, goes Marie Antoinette one better when she refers to the 99% as "you people". New Yahoo!
