GV Sighting: All that twendy Twitter twalk

Busy week... or maybe I should say twizzy tweek (which is, I suppose, a busy week for a twotal Twitter geek.  Unless Twitter+geek is tweek.  Ugh...)

Anyway, workload and a business trip that lasted one day longer than it was meant to couldn't keep me from spending a few minutes on the phone with a reporter from The Canadian Press, talking about the new vocabulary (#5) that has emerged among the Twitterati.  Crap, I just did it again, didn't I?

If you're on Twitter, you know what I mean.  The alternately endearing and annoying habit of appending a "tw" to the beginning of otherwise normal words, resulting in mash-ups like tweeps, tweetup, twoast, twendy, twetiquette and of course tweethearts.  If you're not on Twitter, you can get some schooling by visiting the Twictionary.

Either way, you may want to see what a rhetoric professor, a social commentator (whatever that is) and I had to say about Twitter twalk.  Pop on over to the CTV site to read the article.
