2009 — Tracy Williams, "Twitter me this", Picayune Item, 8 July 2009:
The Twitter mania has reached the upper crust of society such as Queen Elizabeth and our own American royalty Barbara Walters who plugs her work via the tweetdom universe.
Little did tweeps know back on April 19 that the D.C. mugging of one very special member of Harold and Kumar -- and former associate director in the White House Office of Public Engagement -- would shake Tweetdom to its core and change everything we thought we knew about social media, garnering 9 percent of links that week.
Colin Montgomerie, a non-tweeter, and Corey Pavin, a man of tweetdom with nearly 11,000 followers (@RC_CAPTAIN_2010), have asked their respective squads to suspend all Twitter posts until the Ryder Cup matches conclude.
"Even in the midst of his cosseted, whining tweetdom, Idowu must know that just because the toilets might be cleaner in the London Olympic Village a couple of years hence, that doesn't mean the 2012 Games won't be a target."
Friday night, tweetdom was full of the news that GOP lawmakers had presented Gov. Jerry Brown with a list of what spokesman Gil Duran called — and others reported as — a list of "53 issues."
Not surprisingly, the tweetdom interpreted Burnside's comment as linking the Catholic Abbott with the paedophile scandal in sections of the Catholic Church.
