Hi. My name is <insert name here>, and I am a Twitterholic.
You really can't say when it happened. Or even how it happened.
"Just give it a try; you'll definitely like it.", a friend said. "And if you don't, you can always stop anytime you want.", said another. "Maybe just one try. There's a cute bird too.", you convinced myself.
And that was it. You were hooked. You end up in your own world for long periods throughout the day and night. Nobody understood what was happening to you. How could they, when you couldn't understand it yourself.
Oh sure, those things come in different forms and with different names - Tweetie, Tweetdeck, Twitterrific, Nambu - but they're all the same. All exactly the same. They hook you, reel you in, and they keep you coming back. You start to talk differently too: rt, dm, follow, trend, followfriday. The code words start piling up the more you use it.
And for once in your life, you're part of the popular crowd. The 'in' crowd. How could you have possibly resisted that?
:-)
