PART 3: You know you're a Twitter addict when...

PART 3: You know you're a Twitter addict when...

  • You're lobbying "Funk and Wagnalls" to make the official definition of "twitter" less trivial.
    DEFINITION: Twitter
    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/twitter
    1. to utter a succession of small, tremulous sounds, as a bird.
    2. to talk lightly and rapidly, esp. of trivial matters; chatter.
    3. to titter; giggle.

    4. to tremble with excitement or the like; be in a flutter.
  • You dream in short fragmented sentences that contain tiny URLs linking to other dreams.
  • Your entire resume is 140 characters long.
  • Your definition of "infinity" is a text box allowing an unlimited blog post.
  • You've asked your interior decorator if she has any Twitter blue wallpaper designs for your dinning room.
  • When recently asked if you follow Jesus, Mohammed, or Buddha, your response was, "hold while I check my Twitter friend list."
  • The bumper sticker on your car says, "Follow Me."
  • You think the perfect match at eHarmony would be a guy with a shout URL.
  • You think the perfect match at eHarmony would be a girl willing to show her twits on the first date.
  • You're hoping your state never passes a law that prevents Twittering while driving.
  • Your doctoral thesis was entitled, "The Glottochronology and Retrograde Evolution of Language from Archaic Hominids to Twitter-like Neanderthals in a Postmodern Techno-Society." Unfortunately, it took you so long to squeeze all that into 140 characters, you missed the submission deadline and have yet to graduate.
