The prompt "#ImTiredOfSeeing" is the most talked about topic on Twitter on the morning of March 9.

Twitter users are sharing some of the things they are most tired of seeing in the real world and on the social network with the hashtag "ImTiredOfSeeing."

People are tweeting that they are tired of seeing: "... Justin Bieber in the Twitter trends (TT) section. Not that I don't like him...but come on, can we have a new artist in the TT?", "...people putting others down to make themselves feel better," and "...our country go down the tubes, Joblessness, Greed, No Care for our own people, What happened America?"

The hashtag "raiseyourhandif" is trending at number two, followed by the term "#RipBig" - meme referring to the premature death of American rapper Notorious B.I.G. People are paying their respects to Christopher George Latore Wallace (more commonly known as Biggie Smalls, Big, or by his stage name Notorious B.I.G.) in tweets on March 9 - 13 years to the day after his death.

Twitter users are laying down the ground rules for relationships via tweets, pushing the meme "#relationshiprules" into fourth place. "RTRTRT" (short for "retweet, retweet, retweet") is in fifth place above the term "#Ijustwannathank."

A new social networking service that combines user comments and venue information from location-based service FourSquare with Google Maps is generating a buzz on Twitter. The name of new social network, FourWhere, is in Twitter's most talked about topics list at number seven.
