Trending: Homeless Vet's Makeover, Google Doodle, What's Your Twitter Worth?

HOMELESS VET GETS A MAKEOVER

As we get ready to celebrate Veteran's Day and thank all those who have served our country -- a video of a homeless veteran's makeover is going viral.

The video is of Jim Wolf, who has admittedly struggled with alcohol and has been living on the streets of Michigan.

Dégagé Ministries -- based in Grand Rapids -- posted the video of him getting a haircut, a shave, and a new suit.

The best part is when Jim looks in the mirror and sees his transformation for the first time.

Along with the makeover, Jim has secured a place to live and is attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for the first time in his life.

WHAT'S YOUR TWITTER WORTH?

Twitter is now worth about 25 billion dollars after it's initial public offering on Thursday -- and some of it's highest profile users are saying, "Show me the money!"

Time has published an interactive calculator that allows you to plug in your Twitter handle or that of someone else to see what it's worth.

It computes the number of days you've been on Twitter with your tweets per day and how many people see them.

Based on the calculations, Justin Beiber's Twitter account is worth about 21 million dollars.

Ellen DeGeneres plugged her handle in and then sent out this tweet:

"Whaaat?!  According to this article, Twitter owes me over $3 million. I accept personal checks & Claire's gift cards."

GOOGLE DOODLE

Google is celebrating what would have been the 129th birthday of Hermann Rorschach.

For those who don't know who that is, he's the Swiss psychiatrist best known for showing patients inkblots and asking what do you see?

Visitors to Google's homepage on Friday were able to click through several inkblots and share what they saw on social media.

Rorschach thought his patient's responses helped define their personality.
