heroin is so passé

This morning I asked the Twitterverse what are the top signs that you are addicted to Twitter. Say a Novena for these people, please:

@pseudojoe: um...asking what the signs are? if you have to ask you probably are =)

@kbodnar32: soo many more than 5 tweets per day

@sbazemore: using a standalone app so you can tweet faster.. :)

@budesigns: you refer to people by their @names.

@93octane: referring to YOURSELF as "@[me]"

@stefsull: tweeting while driving.

@blisster138: Twittering while driving on a mobile phone w/no QWERTY keyboard option - oh noes!

@YatPundit: rear-end auto collisions while replying to tweets via SMS

@Soulprncs2: involuntary Tweeting.

@tmroggen: when you can do ctrl R in your sleep.

@budesigns: coworkers find it easier to contact you via @replies than the corporate email.

@stefsull: tweeting to significant other when they're in the same house... even on the same sofa.

@Kayla_C: When you look at your watch during meetings or social events, you're not wishing it was over -- you're calculating how long it
@Kayla_C: it's been since your last tweet. (still getting used to 140 characters)

@kateymarie: Twitter is the last "person" you talk to at night and first in the morning

@pseudojoe: i tweeted while working out at the gym once

@kateymarie: catching yourself tweeting while walking into a bathroom

And the Number One Sign that you are addicted to Twitter:

@danananda: You cut people short at 140 characters when they are telling you about their weekend.
