Don’t Twempt Me

Call me crazy, but I saw this news story recently and had to chuckle: “TweetUp Buys Smartphone Twitter App Twidroid.” Huh? You could make a tongue twister game out of that headline..try saying it three times fast.

What has Twitter done to us? The best nugget from the whole story is this:

“TweetUp will change the spelling of its new acquisition to Twidroyd, to avoid licensing strictures for the use of Lucasfilm’s trademarked term ‘droid.’”

Twidroyd?

Seriously?

How compelling.

I might have to tweet this. But I’ll be twitty in my post and not use too much twitterspeak in the hopes of some Twitterati following me and starting a Twittersation.

Twesus. These T words are killing me.
