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"...

Lots and lots of these in Russian:
Хештег/Хэштег - Hashtag
твитнуть - to tweet
Фолловер - follower
Лайк - like
There are more. I just can't remember them of the top of my head.
