tweetronising

Something which combines "twee" with "patronising" although that's quite tweetronising.
Coined by Guardian critic Charlie Brooker to describe adverts with "a modern folk music backing track, a cast of non-threatening urban hippy replicants, and a drowsy hello-birds-hello-sky overall attitude"

"That new orange commercial is SO tweetronising"

Tweetmoting

To broadcast your emotions on Twitter. A style of tweeting. Not necessarily good or bad. To use Twitter to emote/express your emotions rather than tweeting facts, ideas, opinions, beliefs, or other forms of content. Can be interpreted as sincere and/or impactful by some and cringeworthy by others.

“Bro, your girlfriend has been tweetmoting a lot lately. Is everyone ok?”
