'selfie,' 'hashtag,' 'tweep' entered Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Merriam-Webster finally entered the digital age Monday, adding a slew of social-media-savvy terms like
“selfie,†“hashtag,†and “tweepâ€
to the 2014 update of its collegiate dictionary.
The eleventh edition of the dictionary captures how “technology is being used to understand and motivate behavior,†the lexicographers said in a statement.
If you look up "selfie" in a Merriam-Webster dictionary, you'll find the following definition:
"(n., 2002): an image of oneself taken by oneself using a digital camera especially for posting on social networks."
“Selfie†was Oxford English Dictionary's word of the year for 2013 — and it's the title of a new ABC comedy premiering this fall — so Merriam-Webster seems to be following a trend.
