Tweeter: The New Twitter

You don't twit, you tweet.  So then why is it called Twitter, and not Tweeter?  We can even make stylistic changes to the spelling to avoid copyright infringement: TWEETer, Tw-eat-er, Twītter, or even Faycsbuuk.

I know some of you are saying it'll be impossible to fit some of those into hashtags though.  No problem!  Use ampersandtags!  Just replace every "@" with a "&."  Clearly the ampersandtag is superior to the hashtag.  & is a much better symbol to use.  &you &you &youtoo!  Plus, on the computer keyboard, it is pressed with the right index finger, which is much more commonly used for things, like pointing. (Results may vary in countries outside the US.)

There's a solution for all you computer programmers who might get confused too!  To type a real ampersand, just type "&&" and an ampersand will appear without referencing anyone else.  Then you can use your TwE&Ter hatetags again.
