You heard it here first. I'm defining three new words:

1) Twescalate - to over-hype something or create a controversy by causing a massive tweet / retweet of a piece of information. For examples, see "Gottfried, Mark" and "Ref comment." Also, see "Spike Lee" and "Zimmerman Address" - or "Southern Miss Band"

2) Twescalation - the act of tweeting with the hope / desire of creating a mountain out of a molehill: See "Bike mom and Burger King Drive Thru"

3) Tweester - the state of outrage, indignation, disbelief, and generally over the top response of "twitter nation," thereby making it seem that a vast number of ALL Americans feel the same way: See "Health care decision, oscar nominations, wiki leaks, tot mom, etc." Alternate: "Atwitter"
