diagnosis: one of your followers will say something along the lines of "holy shit, STOP!"
treatment: no cure; treatment includes throwing your phone out of the window and running over your router with your neighbor's lifted Ford F350

Get the twitterrhea mug.When you tweet in obsessively manner about everything and everyone in sight because you are bored out of your mind, or chose to do things other than being productive.
I was so bored at work that I logged on to my twitter account and had an hour or two of twitterrhea.

Get the Twitterrhea mug.Emily Miller at www.PoliticsDaily.com coined the term.
TwitterDead is defined as someone who is said to have died in a tweet, which is retweeted so often that it trends in Twitter so others believe the celebrity is Really Dead. (If you can't follow the previous sentence, you need to get a lesson on Twitter because many people believe it is the future of the web.)
OK, I just made up the term TwitterDead. But I needed a word to describe the phenomenon of social media moving so fast that a rumor of a celebrity death is picked up by other media, but ends up being a fire drill.
TwitterDead is the modern version of the great Mark Twain quote: "The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated."

These celebrities are alive but TwitterDead: George Clooney, Jeff Goldblum, Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, Randy Jackson and Britney Spears.
The first TwitterDead on the day Michael died was Randy Jackson of American Idol, which I noticed in trending topics. Bless his still-beating heart, Randy was TwitterDead because of his last name.
Next came the trending of actor Jeff Goldblum who was so TwitterDead that he had to dispel the rumors by going on camera to deny to TMZ and then to appear on the "The Colbert Report."
Other celebrities who got killed off Twitter-style at the end of last week were Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman and Miley Cyrus. Britney Spears was TwitterDead by the weekend.
All's fair in the twitterverse since it's just basically an enormous high school rumor mill. But, my Twitter friends, you have gone too far when you TwitterKill George Clooney. NOT CLOONEY. ANYONE but Clooney!
Stan Rosenfield, Clooney's publicist, contacted TMZ -- which apparently is running the world now -- to dispel the death rumors because he was inundated with calls from mainstream media outlets.

Get the Twitterea mug.1) A condition resulting in tweeting frequent, short bursts of the most minute daily activities. 2) The collection of tweets from a group of people about the same event, resulting in highly repetitive clumps of observations.
1) Oh, I had to unfollow her, she had a bad case of twitterhea flooding my iPhone.
2) since I wont physically be at #railsconf this year, i'll attend virtually by lurking in the irc channel and consuming the twitterhea all day.
