Social Media Stars Take a Bow at the 2013 Shorty Awards

Winners took the stage at the fifth annual Shorty Awards in New York last night to accept awards for their creativity and quick thinking on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, and Foursquare.

While many winners accepted their awards in person, a few sent videos that, true to the spirit of the evening, are now on YouTube.

A highlight of the evening was actor Seth Green, who had a heart-to-heart via video with the Shorty award-winning Mars Curiosity Rover. “Is Twitter etiquette the same on Mars?” Green asked.

Replied the Rover, “I’ve sent more than 1,700 tweets and not a single one of them includes a picture of a sandwich.”
