Author: Found this through a Tweet this morning, Thought it was worth posting
1. You find yourself thinking in 140 characters or less, even at dinner when you’re listening how to shorten down someones sentences that may be funny to others
2. Your spouse has pamphlets circling around on how to handle a “Twittervention”
3. You are a walking thesaurus of Twitter acronyms – HT’s, RT’s, WTF’,s FTW!
4. You have RSS feeds set up keeping you plugged in to @garyvee, @scobelizer & @techcrunch’s real time tweets so you don’t miss a “sniffy sniff, a “WHO are YOU?” or a Crunchie update
5. Your spouse sends you DM’s on what to bring home for dinner – email just isn’t fast enough anymore
6. You insist all business meetings are now called “Tweetups”
7. Fail Whales require therapy and hives break out at the thought of not being connected to your followers
8. Your Rolodex now has handwritten Twitter usernames on peoples business cards
9. Referring to people in public as “@ their name” slips out regularly and goes uncorrected
10. You have designated times when twittering is ok with your spouse (mine is when the kids are asleep and my work for the day is done LOL)
11. You find yourself pitching Twitter any chance you get, to friends, family and…anyone that will listen
12. In the middle of a heated debate you’ve actually wondered if you can Unfollow & Block the person standing in front of you
13. You suddenly become a Suns fan because @the_real-shaq gave you a follow…even though you are a die hard Lakers Fan
14. You have so many followers you have categorized your community into 30 columns on tweetdeck and when new followers add you, you break out into a cold sweat as to what column to put them in
15. When your spouse joins Twitter he or she has to explain their case as to why you should intro them by way of a “please follow” to your followers
16. You spring awake in the middle of the night with a great new Twitter word to share with the “Tworld”
17. Instead of checking email at 3am when you can’t sleep, you are frantically checking your @replies in case someone gave you a re-tweet or sent you an “@” reply
18. Although you have never met 90% of your followers you are more touched they sent you an e-card for the holidays than an immediate family member
19. Your emails are starting to creep down to only 140 characters…OR LESS
20. You custom built a tool off of Twitters API to notify you the second your boss starts following you on Twitter so you can instantly block him or her
