Use the below list to determine if you just might be a social media junkie. Answer Yes or No. Score 1 for Yes. 0 for No’s (Hint: If you answer Yes to one question you might be a junkie and that is not exactly a good thing.:>)
For someone (me) who is always trying to balance the online with the offline, I feel your social media junkie pain.
You Just Might Be A Social Media Junkie if…
1. You keep dropping a note in your collection plate at church instead of a donation. The note says, “Dear Reverend Hill – why have you not yet started a Facebook fan page for Jesus?”
2. Your wife wants you to be in therapy with her, but you’ve told her you will only do it if you can find a therapist who can dispel his/her wisdom in 140 characters or less. (length of a Twitter)
3. You’ve told your immediate and extended family that the best place for them to find out what you’re up to is on Tweetdeck.
4. Instead of an emergency phone number on your children’s school information – you’ve posted your TwitterID account and told them that is the best way for them to reach you. (The school secretary in particular does not seem hip to the tweeting.)
5. You volunteered for the Parent Teacher Organization group but only on a virtual level and have promised you will send tweets during the school carnival when the principal is dunked.
6. Your Mom closed her Facebook account, because she was getting too many Fan messages from you asking her to join your Fan page.
7. Your husband has a Google alert set up on your name and occasionally searches Google images so he can see what you looked like before you became part of your office chair.
8. Your neighborhood bunko group has unfriended you on Facebook because they don’t much cotten to you sending status updates like, “I just kicked everyone’s butt in bunko. I’m the bunko queen and these women can’t roll a triple six if it killed them.”
9. You tell people you and Barack Obama are very close virtually because you joined his Facebook Fan page.
10. You found your Honors English teacher (Mrs. Whitley) on Facebook and you’re sending her blog posts to redline for you (because after all once a teacher, always a teacher.)
11. Your husband has banned twittering, facebooking, linkedin-ing from the bedroom.
12. Your pug starts a very high pitched noise when he sees you reach for your iPhone.
