Twitterific

It started as a lark. My kids were talking about twitter so I decided to sign up & check it out. At first I only followed my kids plus Tony Caridi, the WVU play-by-play announcer. Easy enough, manageable . . . took only a few seconds a day. My son, Trent, then pointed out that I could get twitter on my iphone. Twitterific! One day I decided to add a couple of people that I knew were on twitter. Then these people added me. Soon strangers added me so I added them. Then I discovered celebrities on twitter so I added people like John Mayer (who twitters so much I may have to drop him!), ET & Ryan Seacrest. Then a friend of my nephew's was on American Idol so I added both him & his fansite. Of course, I was also twittering (tweeting) while I was adding & being added to other accounts. It wasn't long before I got some direct messages so I fired messages back. Recently I discovered both the head football coach & basketball coach at WVU were on twitter . . . couldn't add them fast enough! Soon I began checking my twitter account at red lights & while grocery shopping. I find it fascinating to not only keep up with those in my family who tweet but to also get random comments from miscellaneous other people.

I know I have an addictive personality (thank God I never tried drugs!) so I guess it's not surprising that I have now become a twitter addict. Is there a 12 step program for this?
