Microbloggers are sharing their favorite childhood and teenage memories with the Twittersphere on the morning of May 11 with the hashtags "#teenagememories" and "#childhoodmemories."

Twitterers’ favorite memories include "Those nice times when 'future' and 'job' and all these evil words weren't on ur mind most of the time," "Adding salt, pepper, ketchup or anything else to my friends drink while they aren't looking," and "when pokemon got banned from school cause everyone was robbing eachother."

"#icanttrustyouif" makes it into first place on Twitter’s most talked about topics list. American sitcom "Kenan & Kel" is in fifth place, American TV series " Human Target" is in sixth place, and American music video program " BET Uncut" is in ninth place.

An "awesome" Google doodle has helped the name of acclaimed American dancer and choreographer "Martha Graham" trend in fourth place on what would be her 117th birthday.

Google’s new music service, Google "Music Beta" is a hotly discussed subject in the microblogs. The service is essentially a cloud-based music locker where US users can store up to 20,000 songs for free.

The names of Puerto Rican music duo "Wisin & Yandel" are in seventh place and "Prom Queen" is trending in tenth place.
