With all new technology comes the fun bit – A new language.. this is the point where regular people glaze over and start to back away. But, don’t worry. Twitter has indeed brought about the emergence of a new little language but I quite like it actually and its nothing to be afraid of.
Here’s some of my favourite Twitter terms;
• twaffic: Twitter traffic.
• beetweet: a buzzing tweet; a “hot” tweet
• occasionitter: an occasional tweeter
• tweetaholic: someone addicted to Twitter, so much so that it may be an actual problem.
• tweeterboxes: twitterers who tweet too much.
• sweeple: sweet twitter people
• twittastic: fantastic, wonderful, superb.
• twitterfly: being a social butterfly on Twitter evidenced by extreme usage of @ signs.
• twitterrhea: the act of sending too many Twitter messages.
• tweetup: when twitterers meet in person - a Twitter meet up.
