Maybe you're right, but the word isn't commonly used that way in the US (as far as I know), so I think the bird-related meaning is the motivation for the name. I notice you have an ac.uk email address--maybe the meaning related to human speech is more common in the UK. Thanks, Also, for stopping by.

It's also used when someone isn't making any sense: eg "What are you twittering on about?" Seems oddly appropriate. ;-) Indeed, the word “twitter” in Scotland is used to describe the noise birds make.
