    I got to 125 but that was because of the toilet. Very funny.

  4. HelloKit  •  Sep 15, 2008 @6:28 am

    Only 60 for me, but a few of those will probably become true sooner or later…

    DON’T TWEET WHILE DRIVING! It’s dangerous! Plus, I love my Twitter pals and I would hate to see them wrapped around a tree coz they’re replacing “you” with “u”.

    Too funny. I actually know someone who got a traffic ticket because he was twittering.

    I knew I was addicted to twitter when I changed my e-mail signature to include my twitter contact.

    This is such a funny test that I’m holding my sides while laughing! I have been blogging since August, and then saw Evan Williams on TV with Charlie Rose a few weeks ago. I signed up with Twitter.com (don’t do any other social networking) and it has captured me totally. It is a sunny day in Portland, OREGON, and it’s 4 PM. I am sitting here in my nightgown, hardly have eaten. I couldn’t sleep at 3 AM and just started tweeting non-stop.

    OK. It’s official. I don’t even need to take your test.

    Thanks for the information. It’s priceless. Now, when is the next meeting of Twitters Anonymous scheduled here?

    Cordially,

    Ellen Kimball
