Who needs Match.com when you've got Twitter? Or better yet, Black Twitter.

We witnessed the beginning of a match made in social media heaven on Tuesday, when viral-list-making site BuzzFeed mused on the power of Black Twitter and its ability to kill a George Zimmerman trial jurors book deal .

Indeed.

In exchange for the flattery, Black Twitter member @frazierapproves kicked off the hashtag #BlackBuzzFeed Wednesday afternoon, a hilarious list of ideas we think the site should seriously consider writing up.
