- You think @ChrisBrogan is a Mayor
- Your emails are 140 characters long
- You write @Mom
- You are actually paranoid about NOT being followed
- You look forward to summer so you can hang out on TweetDeck
- You don't understand why your company event is not being tweeted
- You find out you have been appointed to a vacant Senate seat before the Governor has called you
- You have a framed picture of your avatar on your desk instead of your kids
- You find out that "tweet" has nothing to do with ornithology
- Encountering the "fail whale" makes you want to join Greenpeace
Your turn!
I posted this Tweet a few days ago about this topic:

"Your Twitter addiction has gone too far when you have dreams about Tweeps you've never met."

Love it! Going to Tweet it now...

Wait - @ChrisBrogan isn't a mayor? Next you'll tell me Twitterville isn't an official municipality.

How about...
"When you find yourself tweeting pictures of your meals."
My wife rolls her eyes EVERY time. I can't help it if I get excited when I've actually made something that looks tasty!
"When you reach out to smash the snooze button one more time, but notice your Blackberry is flashing (new tweets!) and decide to get up so you can check the timeline!"
(God, I hope I'm not the only one who does that.)

When I see a link to "Turn Yourself into a South Park Character", I do it, change my Facebook photo to it, text all my friends, see a Tweet that says " you know you spend too much time on Twitter when", then write about it on the Conversation Agent blog! http://tinyurl.com/3nralb

You Know You're Spending too Much Time on Twitter When... you tell your wife to shush because you just received a DM.

When your only friends are the people you met on twitter (and never met in person)

...when you start telling your hubby (alias "my tweetie") about the tweets you've gotten that amused today you instead of what you actually accomplished during the day... 'cause it isn't enough to bore them with stories of people they've met - now we have to bore them with stories of people they'll never know!

When you're really upset because you hit the Twitter API limits.

When you find out it's snowing outside because others tweeted about it (even though you're sitting right by the window).

When you find yourself asking, "Where's the follow button?" on every other site or network

....you've mastered the art of twittering while driving.

when you find yourself thinking in hash marks ### LOL

When you write a blog post called "You Know You're Spending too Much Time on Twitter When..."?
Posted by: Kirst12 | December 19, 2008 at 04:27 PM
That is too funny!

"When you're really upset because you hit the Twitter API limits."
This makes me pull my hair (figuratively speaking of course).

When you start calling your followers by their number ...
"Thanks for the follow, 972!"
Posted by: Richard Becker | December 19, 2008 at 07:15 PM
I'm definitely not a tweetaholic...
Yet.
Posted by: The Alternative Business Software Maker | December 21, 2008 at 10:21 AM
You answer, "Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?" with "Yeah, yeah. Tweeting while driving. Just gimme the damn ticket."
Posted by: Jason Falls | December 21, 2008 at 09:21 PM
You hear the distinct TweetDeck beep from across the house and run to go check on it.
Posted by: thebouv | December 21, 2008 at 09:25 PM
When you are not getting anything else done...
Tweeting on Friday and Saturday nights...
Posted by: Tom Allinder | December 22, 2008 at 12:22 PM
These are all great! You gave me more chuckles than I've had in a long time. Keep them coming!
Posted by: Valeria Maltoni | December 23, 2008 at 12:00 AM
I'm not saying a word... :-|
But, Jeremy, Twittering while driving? It's not like motorcycling (or even driving) is hazardous enough, I guess. Insert alarmed smiley here...
