An addiction to web 2.0

“You get up in the morning, that's one. Send another at the station. That's two. One before starting work, coffee break, couple at lunch and so on. You also think 'oh, difficult meeting with the boss, I'll want a tweet after that' and so on. So - far from a tweet being a tweet it becomes integral to the way you do things. Part of the panic of not having a tweet is the insane craving, but just as importantly, tweets help you get through things. Of course, you entirely ignore the fact that other people can have difficult meetings with the boss and not need to tweet. You also tend to hang around with people who tweet, and there's a concern that if you didn't tweet, you wouldn't see those people and would miss out on the gossip. Tweeters reinforce each other, and the habit that they both share.”
