However, I have to take exception to the term "twammers." The bastardization of the English language with all these twitterisms is abominable. It started out cute, with twitter and tweets, tweeps and twestivals, and is now completely out of control. If you're concerned about your brand on twitter, stop telling people you "twove" them, or inviting them to "twunch," and use those 140 characters to have intelligent conversations.
