I believe you can trademark common words within a specific product group.

Tweet is already a verb. See http://www.answers.com/topic/tweet
I am not an English speaker. But see the output of the following
command in your linux distro.
$ look tweet
tweet
tweeted
tweeter
tweeter's
tweeters
tweeting
tweets
