Morphology

twitterverse = Twitter (semi-transparent) = twitter + verse

Formed from the proper name 'Twitter' plus the combining element '-verse' (modelled on 'universe'), producing a metaphorical 'realm' of Twitter; the metaphor is clear but the bound element '-verse' may be less familiar.

Etymology

The word twitterverse mixes the name Twitter with the ending -verse from universe, where 'universe' means 'whole world'. So, twitterverse names the 'world' of people and conversations on Twitter.
