Twitter addiction: Could you get by without Twitter?
From BBC : A popstar gave up on social networking after a dinner party at which she realised she spent more time updating Twitter than interacting with her companions. Online communities like Twitter, where people follow each other without being acquainted in real life, can be brutal: “If you’re going to broadcast as a tweeter then you need to be thick skinned,” says Dr Yeung, “If you’re the kind of person who takes things personally, opening yourself up to criticism from strangers is not a good idea.” A Twitter user: “I could not fully concentrate on anything for longer than 20 minutes,” says Carolyn.
