"An important moment, at least symbolically, in the ascent of any hot web startup is when it becomes so mainstream that people start using it as a verb \u2013 or a noun, as the case may be.  \nSometimes, the startup becomes so successful that it even enters the dictionary, and that\u2019s exactly what Twitter has done today, as we've learned that it will be added to the next edition of the Collins English Dictionary.\nAccording to The Telegraph, Twitter the noun will be defined as \"a website where people can post short messages about their current activities\" while the verb\u2019s definition will be \"to write short messages on the Twitter website.\u201D  Interestingly, the term \u201Ctweet\u201D doesn\u2019t appear to be included (as it now is in the AP Stylebook), but Twitterati and Twitterverse will be. Rival dictionary Merriam-Webster, for what it\u2019s worth, still defines Twitter the verb as \u201Cto utter successive chirping noises\u201D and the noun as \u201Ca small tremulous intermittent sound.\u201D  Perhaps the company is saving Twitter for \u201Cword of the year\u201D status, as the word \u201Cblog\u201D was back in 2004."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
