Twitter On Your Cell Phone
Twitter is growing by leaps and bounds every week. If you haven’t jumped on the Twitter bandwagon yet then I suggest you do. Everybody is talking about Twitter these days from television to print to blogs. There have been tons of mentions of Twitter on popular television programs like Access Hollywood and E!. I was even surprised when the moderator of “Meet The Press”, David Gregory, mentioned that you could follow him on Twitter after the show. When Twitter gets a mention on a serious Sunday morning political show then you know it’s made it.
The main stay of Twitter is the use of Twitter via your computer, but there are tons of free twitter applications that you can now download to your cell phone. I personally use Twidroid for my T-Mobile G1. I downloaded the application for free via the Android Marketplace. When someone I’m following writes a tweet I automatically receive a notification of my phone. It’s that simple! Some cell phones even have a Twitter application preinstalled. Since there are so many people using Twitter it’s inevitable that people will become addicted to sending tweets on their cell phone. My question is, what will be the term for a Twitter addict that uses Twitter all the time on their cell phone? Of course we have the term Crackberry for Blackberry users that can’t put down their Blackberrys. Here are some terms I though of, Twidict (twitter + addict), Tweetberry (someone who uses twitter on their blackberry), iTweeter (someone who uses Twitter on their iPhone). If you have any terms that describe a Twitter addict that uses Twitter on their cell phone post them in the comments section.
