Twillionaire and Twitticide

Twitter-related portmanteaus (twitanteaus?) – users with a million followers, or those who abandon their tweeting.

Writing for The Guardian, Richard Wray reported:

Stephen Fry, technophile and a “twillionaire” having amassed more than a million followers on Twitter, yesterday explained what almost led him to commit “twitticide” last month and consider leaving the micro-blogging service.

Ashton Kutcher became the first twillionaire in April 2009 when he beat CNN to 1 million followers. Twitticides of note include Miley Cyrus, whodeleted her account in October 2009, and Lily Allen, whose account has remained dormant since September 2009, when she tweeted “I am a neo-luddite, goodbye.”

(The Urban Dictionary defines twillionaire as one who has made a fortune catering to the tween market.)
