Ok, since this conversation originated on Twitter I thought that the most appropriate tool to use to adjudicate the decision was Twitter. Earlier this afternoon, Ben Martin aka @bkmcae, the boy genius of the A-List Blogosphere as recognized by Mensa, proudly stated that he was “being good today“. A short while later he had a Fogdirog outburst.

I raised the question to him on how he considered himself on good behavior if he was Fogdirogging all over the place to which he responded that it “was just an outburst“. The whole conversation got me thinking about what the proper terminology is for a Twitter-powered outburst should be really be called and I asked the question, again via Twitter.

Matt Baehr aka @cardcat suggested that the most appropriate term to describe a Twitter-mediated outburst should be “fogdirog” in honor of our good friend and A-List Blogger Jamie Notter, and went so far as to update the official Fogdirog wiki to reflect this new usage. @bkmcae came back and suggested “Twirade” to which Mickie Rops aka @mickierops was non-committal stating that she liked “Twirade” but that it was also hard to go wrong with “Fogdirog”.

So my question to all of you is what is the best term to describe a twitter powered outburst? We’ll use Twitter to help me to facilitate this highly unscientific poll.

If you believe that it is indeed Fogdirog send an @tweet to me in the following format:

@desabol Fogdirog

If you believe that is is a Twirade send an @tweet to me in the following format:

@desabol Twirade

If you believe that it should be something else send an @tweet to me suggesting the recommended alternative in the following format:

@desabol Alternative term

I will keep the poll open for the next two days at which time I will post the winning term forever to be committed to our official lexicon of Twitter-related terminology.
