That would mean legal suits against thousands of people. Tweet is a dictionary word, Twitter is another matter all together. I plan to develop my tweet domains: TweetShopping.com TweetRealEstate.com TweetPressRelease.com and more.... Happy Tweeting folks!

They didn't originate the term. It originated/evolved naturally from the public domain/ecosystem at least 2 years ago. Otherwise, why didn't they apply for the trademark at least 2 years ago? This brings to mind the Rollerblade Inc. vs. Rollerblading.com dispute which Rollerblade Inc. lost because "rollerblading" was considered a descriptive activity: http://www.udrpsearch.com/case/D2000-0427 Twitter doesn’t deserve credit for inventing the notion of “Tweeting”.
