            81% of the 34 million online Hispanics prefer English or are bilingual. This reality coupled with the flood of advertising dollars that political campaigns will invest to sway the critical Latino vote make it an interesting time to look at English digital platforms that target Latinos.

Two startups that had the foresight to cater to online Hispanics in English are Guanabee and Being Latino. Founded in 2006, Guanabee is a hip, Latino lifestyle and news site. Being Latino is just over two years old and pegs itself as an online magazine that that educates, entertains and connects Latinos

I feel my chances of MEXTing are quite high

Mexting uses cell phones to send explicit picture text messages of Mexican food meals to others.

Silly! Turns out it was created by an Onion-style, faux news site in Richmond, Virginia of all places, called Tobacco Avenue. Though the concept is cleary satire:

We’re ready to make it real. Send your Mexts to [email protected] and we will totes post that shiz for everyone to see.

I wear makeup. Because I like color and its fun. Today I wore blue eyeliner. It looked awesome! But I guess I should stop because looking hot is the same as asking someone to molest you on the subway.
