Kind of a late post, but here are 10 words that should enter into the Twitter Lexicon in 2010 … I hope that some of these make Bugs Bunny proud!

1. Twurp – Someone who makes a rude comment to your tweet.
2. Twain – What you feel after starring at TweetDeck too long!
3. Twitt – Someone that simply will not leave an issue alone … as in they tweet about the same thing 10 + times.
4. Twhat? – This is the mark on your forehead when 140 characters simply isn’t enough and the person put out a truly incomplete thought?   Twhat was he thinking about?
5. Twetiquette – the harmonious “right” way to treat others on twitter …
6. Twore – A person that follows everyone and wants to be followed by everyone … these twitizens are a little too easy
7. Twitindipity – that point in time when you are casually looking at your tweet stream and you catch inspiration … just got be at the right time in the data flow.
8. Twixpert – the person you follow that truly knows what he/she is talking about … too bad there are so few.
9. Tweprenuer – Anyone that starts a business focused on mining revenue from twitter … best of luck!
10. Twadical – A collective stream of tweets that combined truly offer value to the followers … typically around an event!

I would love to see any comments or additional words.

This is a tweet I got a few minutes ago about a scene on Opera.

First of all, this came from a professor.  Talking about the number of people going to this site, which has an AWESOME message and it came through from Twitter - ”RT @mashenka: Wow. Oprah played the http://www.girleffect.org/ on TV and http://www.globalgiving.org/ is up to 10 hits /second”.

According to The Global Language Monitor, Twitter is the top word of 2009.

If you haven’t found a community of a few hundred people to listen to in Twitter, I suggest that you start looking.  You don’t need to follow millions of people or have millions of people follow you.  This is about having an ongoing conversation about all that happens in the world, and more importantly, all that happens in your world.  Just start to search for people and build your following!

Here is a great post to get started on Twitter.
