~~~~~Twitter~~~~ ;)

For all you Twitter ignoramuses and/or newcomers, here’s the Definitive Guide to Twitter. It is work in progress and the whole world is invited to contribute.Have been using Twitter for a while now,and this is what I have been able to get hold onto (till now).

  1. Twitter (N): Online Micro blogging service to send and view second-by-second status updates, almost instantaneous updates from the entire Connected World.
  2. Tweet [pronounced Tw-E-t] (N): A Twitter Message; (v) to send a Twitter message
  3. Tweeter (N): A person who tweets, a Twitter user.
  4. Tweeting (N): The act of sending a Tweet or Twitter message
  5. Tweeple (N): People on Twitter
  6. Follow (V): To follow someone’s updates on Twitter
  7. Unfollow (V): To stop following someone’s updates on Twitter
  8. Twiddle (V): To fiddle with Twitter; no SOP exists but activities range from banging your head trying to think of an intelligent message to Tweet (as opposed to “Gawd, I’m late to work!” or “My cat is puking”), or trying to decide whether to delete your Twitter account or no. Twiddling is limited only by your imagination.
  9. Twiverse/Twpoem (N, V): Verses limited to 140 characters or less, the act of writing such verses.
  10. Twoiletry (N): Your Twitter-enabled device that lets you Tweet from the loo.
  11. Twral (V): To bait someone on Twitter.
  12. Twralling (N): The act of baiting someone on Twitter.
  13. Tweetus Interruptus (N): Act of interrupting somebody when he/she is in the middle of typing a Tweet.
  14. Premature Twijaculation (N): Tweet incomplete because the Tweeter ran out of the alloted 140 characters.
  15. Twit (N): Witty Tweet

Happy Tweeting ...
