29 Reasons You're A Socialmediaphiliac

We live in a social world.

I don’t know when it all started exactly, but what I do know is that many have become socialmediaphiliacs. Lovers of all things social media.

We Tweet, Facebook, Foursquare, LinkedIn, Plurk, Plus, Ping, Chat, Skype, Email, UnThink, Klout, Comment, Quote, Meetup & more.

Do we remember how to speak? How to write more than a 140 character sentence? I fear if I open my mouth in public, I might only speak in 140 character bursts.

You may want to start varying your activities, if you’re doing too many of the following…
