Well, actually this might be good, since you would not have a way to reinstall them again.
If you wait for PR1.2, you will get a folder system, sou you can hide the unwanted apps in a folder.
Alternatively you can gain root and move the desktop files of those apps into another system folder. This way the apps are still there but the icon will not be shown anymore.

Those apps are a part of the firmware and were not installed from .deb packaged files. This means that the application manager has no tool with which to uninstall them.
You can do the next best thing and hide them from the launcher screen by entering the following commands as root from your terminal:
cd /usr/share/applications
rm skype.desktop
rm youtube.desktop
rm twitter.desktop
....and so on.
Be aware that these icons will likely re-appear when/if you update your OS when PR 1.2 comes out, but you can just repeat the above commands to hid them again.

Better rename them to .bak instead deletion, since you will not be able to undo it!

It should be just
apt-get purge twitter
Try at your own risk.
To reinstall
apt-get install twitter
Do at your own risk though and don't mess around with this stuff unless you were are willing to re-flash your device. I had a dependency issue when installing locate (I had a thread on this somewhere) it just started removing everything from the command line. I lost the shop and quite a few other things. I was able to reinstall the shop from the command line, but still had to re-flash though as it had removed some essential things.

This was not unexpected though.

Anyway my suggestion clearly should be ignored.
