  +1, I really like it. It's cute, short and playful.

    Definitely cute, short and playful. It has the downside that "toot" is also used as a more polite, kid-friendly word for fart. Though I do love the thought of hearing a newscaster saying something like "Breaking news: President Trump has just tooted, and critics are calling it inappropriate and disgusting."

      "Tweet" sounded ridiculous at the beginning too. Everyone has just gotten used to it.

        "iPad" as well

        And the more trivial derivation "Twit" would have been even worse. Meanwhile "Tweeter" sounds terrible
