“You are what you tweet”
“Suddenly, it seems as if all the world is a-twitter.” Newsweek

Twitter is my homepage, I start reading tweets or tweeting before I eat my breakfast, I have a cell-phone so I can tweet with it, I have printed my Twitter ID on my business card, I’ve figured out new ways to shorten words, I cheated on Facebook with all @’s and RT’s, I talk to my friends via Twitter, I read more tweets than I read blogs,  and I’ve already tweeted about this post while you’re still reading it. Am I addicted to Twitter? Yes, absolutely I am! I’m in, on, all over ,it!!and my name is @ozge (on Twitter).
