English term or phrase: tweeting employees
Buenas tardes!

Entiendo que debe referirse a empleados contratados para que a través de Twitter den a conocer los productos / servicios de una empresa.

Aparece en un artículo sobre el seguimiento de medios.

Hay algún término en español??

Gracias :)

empleados que hacen Tweets, empleados Tweeteros - PLEASE SEE MORE OPTIONS IN EXPLANATION
Explanation:

Rocio:

In English, Twitter uses the term “tweeting”. In Spanish, Twitter says: “hacer Tweets”, “Tweetear”, “Tweetero”, “Tweetup”, “Twittero”, Twittera”.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

FROM THE GLOSSARY OF TWITTER IN SPANISH LANGUAGE


- Tweet: Un mensaje publicado vía Twitter que contiene 140 caracteres o menos.

-Tweetear: El acto de publicar un mensaje, a veces llamado un “Tweet”, en Twitter.

- Tweetero: Algunos llaman así a quienes tienen una cuenta o hacen actualizaciones en Twitter.

- Tweetup: Viene de la expresión en inglés “meet-up” o reunión informal. Algunos usuarios usan Tweetup para hablar de una reunión en persona entre Twitteros, quienes se ponen de acuerdo para encontrarse en un lugar y hora determinados.

- Twittero o Twittera: Algunos llaman así a quienes tienen una cuenta o hacen actualizaciones en Twitter
-----------------------------------------------------------------

For this reason, in Spanish, the “tweeting employees” are:

- “empleados que hacen Tweets”.
- “empleados Tweeteros”
- “empleados Twitteros”
- “empleados encargados de Tweetear”
- “empleados que Tweetean”

In all the cases, Twitter writes these terms created in Spanish with the first letter in capital letter.

It in the Twitter blog, it is possible to see that all the documents written by Twitter respect the rule of the “T” in capital letter.

From my point of view, we have to respect the rules of Twitter or the way that Twitter explains its concepts in Spanish.

In the technology industry, it is normal that the manufacturers of products invent names for their products in different languages.

I hope this analysis helps you in your work.

Thank you,

Domingo

Another observation: In English, Twitter uses the name tweeting without capital letter.

Rocio: Thank you for your comment. I think we have to follow the way that the company names its own concepts in Spanish. In other case, nobody will understand our translation. I like to respect the rules of the Real Academia Española, but sometimes we have to follow the common sense. Regards Domingo

disagree  Werner Maurer: En el contexto dado, la otra respuesta es la correcta. Y "tweet" no significa pequeño, sino pío/piar; de ahí el nombre del website y que las personas por primera vez en toda la historia, pían in lenguaje humano!

disagree  FlyHi: That would be 'tweeting to employees'.
