Blink 182's Travis Barker is a huge fan of Twitter (his tweet war with Perez Hilton over MJ's death comes to mind), as is Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz (who used the social media service to raise money for the Invisible Children charity), and pretty much most of their collective fanbase. Just witness the amount of tweeting that was done during Fall Frenzy's second night on Saturday.

Some folks gushed about Blink 182's and Fall Out Boy's performances, while others bitched about the violent mosh pit that developed toward the end of the night or ripped on Slightly Stoopid and Asher Roth.

Take a gander for yourself:
