If sub-generational slang can come and go in a single-digit number of years, I think the population at large will have little problem forgetting "Twitter" and "tweet" as general terminology. The verb "to google" has stuck around because Google is still around, though I'm sure there's some threshold of time where terminology gets passed down and sticks (velcro, kleenex, etc).
