When someone tweets so much that it becomes a problem, the friends of said person get together to host a Twittervention.
"Dude, I opened up my Twitter today and my entire page was filled with tweets from Jeff."
"Really?"
"Yeah, like he's tweeting every other minute."
"Oh man, I think it's time for a Twittervention."
"Definitely."
"I'll call Sarah."

A Twittervention the act of confronting someone who goes overboard with their status updates on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, when it would be more appropriate to use a social messaging site such as twitter, or a blog. In some cases, it may be necessary to consult a trained twitterventionalist, and be prepared to give the ultimatum to revoke their friend status if their addiction is not addressed.
Jim: Angela updates her Facebok status so much I canβt stand it. I told her about Twitter but she just would not listen so I blocked her updates.
Ben: Blocking isnβt going to help. We have to stage a Twittervention.
