Are You Addicted to Twitter?
I signed up to Twitter in June last year and have only started to really us it in the last month or so. The first time I signed up I thought “this isn’t bad”, found a few followers and then didn’t log into it for a few months.
In the last month or so I have been using Twitter a lot more. I have nearly 100 followers and am following about 136 twits. I use it not only to let people know what I am doing and thinking, but now I use it to keep up to date with WPMU, BuddyPress, freelance jobs, motorsport news, travel news and even some American guy who sold everything he owned in 2007 and has been travelling the world since!
I now find myself logging into Twitter before I do anything else to check my updates – even before I open up my e-mail. I also make sure I check it before I go to bed of a night. I got me thinking….am I addicted to Twitter?
I found this article which I thought I had to share with you! You’re addicted to Twitter when…
- Load Twitter first thing in the morning before you check your email.
- Tweet something as the last waking moment before you go to bed.
- When you meet someone for the first time after asking their name, the next question you ask is if they follow you on Twitter.
- The next question you ask this new person is how many followers they have.
- You check your Twitter Grader daily.
- You check your Twitter following growth daily (or hourly).
- You feel lame if you haven’t Tweeted in an hour.
- You always Tweet what you’re doing where ever you are.
- You look at people who don’t use Twitter as aliens from another planet.
- You can’t remember life before Twitter.
- You have grown to hate email because you’d rather use Twitter.
- You review every new Twitter application as soon as it’s available.
- You post more than 100 Twitter updates per day.
- more…
I am not that bad yet! Are you?

I really don’t know about addiction but twitter is the best place to meet other people(bloggers). Well, that was the place where we first exchanged a few replies (about buddypress).
