Twitter Terms, Kitty Cuteness, and a Last.fm Twitter How-To
Posted by Nicki on April 2nd, 2007 at 9:49 pm · TrackBack URI
Yes, I’m amusing myself far too much with this thing! LOL 
I ran across some Twitter-related terminology via the San Fransisco Chronicle:
- Twitterer: A user of Twitter.
- Twittering: To send a Twitter message.
- Twittermob: An unruly and ragtag horde of people who descend on an ill-prepared location after a provocative Twitter message.
- Twittercal mass: A community that has achieved a critical mass of twitterers.
- Twittermaps: A mashup technology that lets Twitter users find each other using Google maps.
- Twitterrific and Twitteroo: Two services that let users post to Twitter using a Mac or PC.
- Twitterpated: To be overwhelmed with Twitter messages.
- Twitterrhea: The act of sending too many Twitter messages.
Here’s some funnies I ran across while surfing through the Twitter Fan Wiki (cats):
A quick “how to” for anyone wanting to display their Recent Tracks:
- Visit Last.fm’s Data Feeds page and grab the RSS URI listed under Recent Tracks: www.last.fm/tools/feeds
- Hop on over to Twitter Feed and login: twitterfeed.com
- Click “Create new twitter feed” and add the RSS URI for your Recent Tracks and set to the desired update frequency
Voila! 
When you first add the feed, it will post only the first entry from the feed. All entries after that are added separately.

Tempest (1 comments.) saidThanks for this post. I’ve been looking for something to use with Last.fm!
Nicki (563 comments.) saidNo problem, Tempest. 
It’s not a great solution, but it’s a start! Considering the fan/following on Last.fm, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before A.S. has a neater plugin available. 
MisChef (1 comments.) saidterms coined at the Los Angeles barcamp3:
twitterbating: when you are so proud of how clever you were when you twittered something, you then repeat it verbally to someone who either hasn’t checked or isn’t on twitter.
menage à twitter: several people twittwering comments instead of whispering and passing notes
simultanous twittergasm: when several people are twittwering during the same event and everyone twitters the same thing at once.
