The Greeks had no word for it
On Twitter, when you pass someone else's tweet along, that's called "retweeting." But what do you call it when you discover that one of your own past tweets was incorrect, and you retract it in a new tweet, as the mayor of Newark did yesterday? "Detweet"? That doesn't quite capture it. Readers, help us out.

Re-twit?
No, that's what the city is fixing to do with its mayor.
De-twit?
No, that's 56 days from now.

HA!
I second Mea Tweeta, that's a play on Latin and not Greek, but I do approve.
