Seven months after joining Twitter, I'm starting to recognize the warning signs.
1. On slow days, you launch Twitter revolutions in countries you never heard of.
2. You're a bona fide connoisseur of words starting with the letters Tw, like tweople, twitiquette, twictionary, etc.
3. Family and friends are hopelessly alienated by your inflexible views on TinyURL vs. Is.gd.
4. The guardians of English grammar may treat you with contempt now, but you know the fools will one day acknowledge the inevitable: Hashmarks replacing capitalized proper nouns is common usage, such as #nba, #bibi, #twitter, #iran, #star trek, etc.
5. Your attention span's just fine — for tweets no longer than 70 characters.
6. You absolutely must know if anyone who matters wished a "good morning Twitterville."
