Interesting article. It's too long for me to copy and paste here in full-text. If anything, this is one reason I'm afraid to even begin on Twitter. I'm already hooked on the Internet/Wikipedia/Googling/IMDB-ing for hours and texting...

articles, communication

actually, it is scary because you can get hooked on tweeting. that's what happened to me for a while, but i'm better. i don't care about twitter as much.

i think because you can update about so much stuff on twitter. random stuff too, and that's what can get you hooked to twitter. :\ it's bad. :(
