Twitter Now In Dictionary
The new edition of the Collins Dictionary will include a listing on Twitter, the UK Telegraph reported.
"The entry under noun will read: "a website where people can post short messages about their current activities" and under verb it will read: "to write short messages on the Twitter website," the online newpaper noted.
Hey even Google did not make it into the dictionary that quickly.

I think it’s great that “Twitter” is being added to the Collins Dictionary. Another new term that is getting a lot of attention is “Prosumer.” A Prosumer is a consumer who purchases a product and then actively promotes it to others. As popularity for social networks and Social Media Marketing continues to grow (which it inevitably will), these types of terms will become a part of our everyday language.
