"Tweetosphere" is my preferred term for the microblogosphere that is Twitter. What do Twitter users do? They tweet and retweet. I think it's appropriate for the world of tweets to be called the "tweetosphere". "Twitterverse" or "twittersphere" isn't as suiting. Twitter is just the medium in which one tweets. The "blogosphere" isn't the "WordPressosphere" or the "TypePadosphere". It is the blogosphere--a community of blogs. Similarly, the tweetosphere is the community of tweets.
