Meredith Vieira cracked up "Today" show co-hosts Ann Curry, Matt Lauer, and Al Roker today as she tried, apparently, to make a joke about micro-blogging application Twitter.

Been there, done that
Thu, 03/05/2009 - 10:24 ET by Charlie PA TpkI confess I have made the same malaprop when I was new to Twitter.
