Bangalore: The message with 140 character limit- “tweet”- which revolutionized social networking and microblogging world, is now officially a part of Oxford Dictionary in its latest update, reports Los Angeles Times.

Despite not being even a 10 year old, a rule that Oxford Dictionary follows for the inclusion of any new word, “tweet” made its way into the dictionary.  John Simpson, the dictionary's chief editor, said the word "seems to be catching on.”

The “tweet” is a “posting made on the social networking service Twitter" and as a verb, it is defined as "to post on Twitter," the dictionary says. The other words, which too are the very part of twitter culture, “follow” and “follower” were included in the dictionary. “Follow (verb): To track the activities or postings of (a person, group, etc.) by subscribing to their account on a social media website or application,” and “Follower (noun): A person who follows a particular person, group, etc., on a social media Web site or application.”
