Ask me what crap am I talkin about.

OK. It is this shady time. I suddenly felt the urge to blog this up, with enough other action items pending. Strange person I am. All blogposts of mine carry these: (I am a lazy blogger | I will now blog | I am here out of the blue moon). So, I thought I shouldn’t deprive you of the deeps**t that I write in each post. Hence, this paragraph sits here

Actually, I have been wondering who twitterers are. This page will tell you, why: Twitter Search for twitterer, i.e. because people use the term.

Now, coming back to the first statement I made: A noun¹ does a verb on a noun²

With reference to the term ‘twitterer’ and its usage by the people flocking twitter(us), twitterer is the 1st noun, twittering is the verb & twitter is the second noun, i.e. “twitterer does twittering on twitter“.

So, in this case the verb twittering is derived from the noun twitter, and the word twitterer is derived from the verb twittering.

Now, the point I am trying to make here is that tweet is a much more commonly used verb(also derived from the noun twitter). This can be easily verified by comparing the frequency of updates on twitter search results for the verb twittering and those for the verb tweet.

Drawing this analogy into the statement I started this post with would gimme: “tweeter tweets on twitter“.

This is hence a humble request to all the tweeters listening, not to use the term twitterer and to rather use the term tweeter.

Hold on!! At this point of time when I used the divine Google search engine, I found what tweeter means in as well as out of context on urbandictionary.com. Doesn’t really sound good in(meaning # 3) as well as out(meaning # 3) of the twitter context. So, it looks like I will have to change the humble request above to an appeal.

After reading the meaning of tweeter on urban dictionary, I strongly appeal not to use the term tweeter for people who tweet. Twitterer (as you might have read above), twitterati & tweople are other alternatives to this potentially harmful term on twitter.

Do let your friends & followers on twitter know about the meaning of this high frequency term used to define them, you and us, by tweeting about it.
