It’s Official! Tweeting isn’t Just for the Birds

twitter-bird-white-on-blueIn its latest update, the Oxford English Dictionary has added a new definition for “tweet.” And I say that makes it official, tweeting is no longer just for the birds! Congratulations, Twitter!

Other new tech words included in this month’s OED update are “big data,” “crowdsourcing,” “e-reader” and “mouseover.”
