Twitterbater

Guy #1 -- "Hey, guys! You should check out my Twitter page, it's crazy cool!" *walks off*

Guy #2 -- "Think that guy knows no one cares?"

Guy #3 -- "Yeah, definite Twitterbater."

The current Wash DC administration had created an illegal pipeline of access to many big tech social media platforms and was using it as a way to control and restrict news that would otherwise negatively impact the public reputation of DC leadership. The explosive 'Twittergate' document exposure was just one example proving this overreaching manipulation of mainstream media outlets like Twitter existed on a national scale.

Twitterature

Noun- A written work (or body of works) of a particularly humorous, clever, and/or poignant nature, and artfully stated in 140 characters or less

Since he fancied his latest Tweet a work of fine Twitterature, he also posted his cleverly stated musings on the topic of pajama pants as a status update on all of his social networking profiles.

It could be argued that Jack Handey was one of the original, great authors of modern Twitterature despite producing the majority of his work before the digital age and the advent of social media such as Twitter and Facebook.
