- Without thinking twice, you grok #2.
- Before a conference or meeting, you stress about which #hashtag to use
- When meeting people IRL (real-life) you immediately start talking to them where their twitters left off. “So, is your partner out of hospital now?â€
- Your avatar based on your mood, season, latest craze or just random stuff. Never a normal picture of yourself.
- Of the 400-odd twitter client applications, nothing really works the way you want it to.
- There is a twitter client, or at least http://m.twitter.com/ bookmarked in all your internet-enabled devices.

- After friends make fun of you on twitter, you have regretted #9. But now you are a dead-set legend for a few days on twitter, so it all works out.

- Before going to a news web site (or let alone the TV), you jump onto twitter to see what is going on.
