There are a bajillion new words surrounding Twitter being invented every day, so I don’t pretend this list is complete. If you have other terms, please leave them in the comments!

Follow: When you find a Twitter user you want to keep up with, you follow them. All their tweets will appear on your page.
Reply: Use this when you want to respond to another person’s tweet.
Retweet: This reposts another person’s tweet. Use when you find link or tweet interesting or useful.
Twaunt: To taunt someone over twitter.
Tweeple: People who use Twitter.
Tweet: A message sent out via Twitter.
Tweetaholism: The continued use of Twitter as an addiction that is difficult to control.
