Declan, it would be great if you could follow up on the value of twitter sometime. I really, REALLY do not get it.

Interesting follow up:

I can see the point.

So, I added these entries to the wikipedia page:

== Twitter Vocabulary ==

* Tweet – verb. to send a twitter message
* Tweeps – noun. one’s twitter friends
* Twirt – verb. to flirt on twitter

and someone else (maybe Jerry) added this:

* Chirp Storm- noun. popular twitter, tweeted about by many.

Then I went back to see if anyone else had added, and my new section was gone. I looked at the history and User:Geni had reverted us:

(diff) (hist) . . Twitter‎; 19:31 . . (-206) . . Geni (Talk | contribs) (→Twitter Vocabulary: rm section original reasearch and stuff made up in one afternoon http://www.declan.net/2008/03/21/add-twitter-vocabulary-to-wikipedia/)

I must have violated some Wikipedia editing ethic?

Robert notes that since I just made “twirting” up, that there are not enough references for it to be a valid entry.

Interesting process. I could unrevert, but I don’t want to get into a war. On the other hand, I was hoping people would start adding stuff.
