Re: The use of neologisms for online/internet terminology
In French, English verbs used on the Internet but also other words become first group verbs with an ending with "er", like "chatter", "liker", "flooder", "troller", "twitter", "mailer"... and "post" instead of "message"...

There are more. I just can't remember them of the top of my head.
