The most talked about topic on Twitter on the morning of October 14 is Google Wave.

Twitter users are using their 140 characters to ask friends, followers and anyone else who will listen to send them an invite to the social networking and communications service called Google Wave.

On September 29 Google sent out over 100,000 Google Wave invites to selected members of the community. Since then a steady stream of users have been testing the service that lets you collaborate on documents in real time and expands the capacities of email.

#whathappened2 is a themed topic that started to appear on Twitter on October 14. Users are asking the question, "What happened to..."

Some popular responses are, "#whathappened2 family believing against all odds in the best of each other", "#whathappened2 friends you can count on. and all the beer in my fridge" and "#whathappened2 people encouraging and respecting others?...matterOffact #whathappened2 society...period."

Chocolate milk is the official Halloween drink - or so says a new campaign from The National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board. Actress Angie Harmon is the latest role-model featured in the Chocolate Milk version of the New National Milk Mustache Campaign 'got milk?'

Chocolate milk is getting some positive marketing on the microblogging site too, with users talking about how much they love the "delicious taste of hot #chocolatemilk."
