Twake or Twaking

Twake: Fake + twitter = twake. Literally, to fake somebody else’s Twitter account (usually by an impostor using somebody else’s name, like a celebrity or some other notable). Example: As Keith Olbermann of MSNBC’s Countdown famously exposed last night (Friday, 3/20/2009) that he does NOT have a Twitter account, even though he has a following of some 13,000+ people (on Twitter). As Keith exposed, that is not an account set up by him, so you’re never really sure when somebody is “twaking” a twitter account.
