Have you tried the usual ones? I have found MeCab/Unidic to
be effective even with texts from social media. Be sure to use the
most recent version of Unidic (2.1.1), which has a vast coverage of
morphemes. I think it's more likely that the social media  jargon will be
added to that lexicon than there will be a specific one just for tweets, etc.
