I'm trying to remember who the celebrity or politician was, who caught a lot of ridicule a few years back for mixing up the two and talking about "MyFace".

Note that there are plenty of other social media; it isn't all just FaceBook and Twitter. They don't all work the same way, and this leads to serious differences in how interactions progress on them. (For example, there's a huge difference in the natures of say, 4chan and Reddit.) So if you are just pasting a different name on a stand-in for FaceBook, it will be clear to the readers (at least to the younger ones) what site you mean, just based upon how the site works.
