the first thing that pops into my head is whether Twitter-speak might be influenced by the culture of more gendered spaces on the internet (compare the predominately female LJ/DW to the predominately male Reddit). We tend to adopt the speech patterns of our social group, and I know that I at least have been very influenced by my fandom experience. (I NEVER USED TO CAPSLOCK SO MUCH. NOW I HAVE ALL THE FEELINGS.)
Basically, this. I adopted Capslock and other ornamentation from LJ, too.
2. Tony Stark - What more could you want? OH, lots of issues? Got that, too.

Indeed.
