Are you getting obsessed with tweets, uploads, and writing on your wall? See our checklist to be sure.

Here's a great article written by Kristin Burnham:

Answer these questions carefully (since denial is the first sign): Do you find yourself dreaming about status updates and friend requests? Does your TwitPic account chronicle your trips to the grocery store and cleaners?

Are you addicted to social media?

A new study from Retrevo Gadgetology suggests that more people are becoming obsessed with their online social circles.

Consider these stats from the survey:

• 48% of people check/update Facebook and/or Twitter after they go to bed.
• 55% of people over 25 have to check in on Facebook at least once a day.
• 49% of people under 25 years old can be interrupted by an electronic message during a meal. (27% for people over 25 years of age).

Still undecided if you're addicted? Here are a 10 additional signs that show you might have a problem (courtesy of me):

1. You speak in sentences of precisely 140 characters or less.

2. You randomly "poke" coworkers on your way to the restroom.

3. A coworker asks: "How was your weekend?" Your first thought: "Gosh, I don't update Twitter for nothing..."

4. Your LinkedIn profile accomplishments include: "Successfully promoted to level 932 of Mafia Wars," and "Followed 9,932 Twitter accounts in a 24-hour period with a 92% success rate in follow-backs."

5. You judge your self-worth on how often you're retweeted.

6. Fail Whale? You frantically hit refresh 189 times before it reloads successfully. Phew!

7. Ding! You receive a text message. Is it from a friend? Nope. "@JoeShmo123 just sent you a direct message: 'Hey there, thx for the follow. How can I help YOU grow your business?'" SCORE! One more follower!
