Twitterstorm is a slang term that refers to a sudden increase of activity about a topic on Twitter. It typically arises from a series of tweets posted by one or more Twitter users in a short amount of time about a specific topic.
It may arise out of unhinged anger, jubilance, or a desire to educate others with multiple tweets explaining something. A Twitterstorm is magnified with likes and retweets and typically results in a trending topic on Twitter. The term combines "Twitter" and "storm" to communicate a frenzied feeling.
