Those are some great signs of a twitter addiction -- same thing with Kerri commented.

Seriously, I’ve seen some people get sucked into Twitter badly (although I’m not sure why, its so overrated) and all they do is post things everyday all day and monitor their e-mails and their account like a hawk for @replies and direct messages. *sigh*
