Counting Tweets

A term used when one is tired yet cannot sleep so they mindlessly fill their Twitter page with nonsensical Tweets in order to rack up to a predetermined number or an even number if you are OCD or superstitious. Ultimately it is the equivalent of being bored enough to watching paint dry or watching grass grow.
Greg: What'd you do last night?

Mel: Shit really. Sat online mostly Counting Tweets all night.

Greg: Damn. There really wasn't anything poppin' in downtown?

Mel: Nope. Couldn't sleep either so it sucked hardcore.

Triple-Tweet

Accidentally sending out the same twitter tweet 3 times.
Also a really sweet (sweet meaning great) tweet.

To my knowledge, Smashing Magazine gets credit for coining the term when they accidentally sent a tweet 3 times, and used the phrase in an apology.
.@twitteridname The triple-tweet was an honest mistake. Sorry about that, guys.

.@twitteridname Thanks for the twit, that was triple-tweet!
