Hello, my name is Jeff and lo and behold, I am still an addict...
It has been a while since I've written here. Mostly because I thought I was cured. I thought I had kicked the habit. I thought I was safely on the wagon. I thought my character had advanced beyond the need for 140 characters. I thought my status had been elevated above the need to constantly update my status. I thought I could wait for the DVD to see THE SOCIAL NETWORK. I thought I was strong enough to resist temptation, to turn down the inviting lure of the Twittersphere... to face-off against Facebook... but alas, I was wrong.
As the decade of social networking decadence winds down, I find myself back in need of a visit to Social Networking Rehab. To prepare myself for a fresh start in 2011, I am in need of another visit to INVITATIONS, the nation's premiere Social Networking Recovery Facility... I came to understand my need for an intervention as I reflected upon the year past and discovered, much to my own chagrin...
THE TOP 10 REASONS I AM STILL ADDICTED TO TWITTER (and SOCIAL NETWORKING)
10. When booking a hotel room recently, I asked if the HOOTSUITE was available.
9. Every-time I hear that there has been an earthquake somewhere in the world I wonder how strong it was on the SEESMIC scale (and I am in awe that @Loic has time to study Geology and run LeWeb...)
8. When filling out a loan application and they asked for "NET WORTH" I entered my KLOUT score.
7. I have 50 Apps on my Android phone, and 25 of them are TWITTER CLIENTS.
6. When I order potatoes at a restaurant I insist that they must be MASHABLE.
5. I have come to believe that my middle initial is "@" (Jeff @Sass)
4. I have seen the FAIL WHALE more times than there are pages in MOBY DICK.
3. When I want to know where my kids are and what they are doing, I go to their FACEBOOK pages first.
2. I look for a "LIKE" button on items on the shelves at brick and mortar stores.
And the #1 Reason I am still addicted to Twitter and Social Networking...
1. I can't stop refreshing TWITTER to see how many times this post has been re-tweeted!
How about you? Are you STILL addicted to Twitter and Social Networking???
