Wow, so much new stuff on the web means more new lingo is needed

For example, how does this sound:

Future tense: I will tweet you if you tell me your Twitter name.
Present tense: I like to tweet.
Past tense: I tweeted you yesterday.


Other terms to conjugate...:

I myspaced you.
I facebooked you.
I youtubed about you.


...and so on....

Go Mr. Webster, dictionary dude



What say, Warriors? Anyone else having fun coming up with verbs like these for your articles?

    Future tense: I will tweet you if you tell me your Twitter name.
    Present tense: I like to tweet.
    Past tense: I tweeted you yesterday.
    Henceforth, the past tense of "tweet" is "twoot". As in "I twoot you testerday"/



    Other terms to conjugate...:

    I myspaced you.
    I facebooked you.
    I youtubed about you.
    As for these, i think taking out a few letters and making them contractions would be better...

    I myspaced you = I m'aced you

    I facebooked you = I f'oked you

    I youtubed about you = I 'tubed you

    But those are just my suggestions. What do you think?

        It wouldn't have been 'twit' by any chance?
