Twitter! It’s become huge in the last year, with most famous people and quite a few unfamous ones having twitter accounts. I have two of the bad boys – retrogarden and rhyswynne – and I’m in discussion to start a third.
Anyway, a lot of people have been asking me (for some reason) how to “make it” on Twitter. Truth is, I don’t really know, but I do know one way to get yourself to the top.
Invent a word!
Seriously, if you can invent a word, you can become a the darling of the Twitterverse (which was invented by somebody!), there’s a very easy way to invent words for twitter:-
TW + (word with an i fairly near the beginning) = Twitter word
Allow me to suggest a few examples:-
Twidow – Somebody who’s husband spends far too much time on Twitter.
Twinjury – RSI gained from Twitter.
Twinvent – Inventing words for Twitter.
So now your go! Twinvent some words for Twitter, and put them in the comments. Winner gets a bagel.

I’m working on Twitile (TWITter+mobILE) a mobile client for Twitter.
I just tweeted twidow. That’s classic. I’m also using twizzler, which is what I literally am, namely, a twitterer who works at sizzler. Any takers?
I can’t think of anything… Dawn Porter (she of ‘Dawn Goes Lesbian’) made up Flittering though. Which is mainly what we do on Twitter!
I will think of something though.
I’ve got it, I thought long and hard and came up with “twat”
That is a fine list of Twitisms you’ve got there.
