in Social Media

1. First order of business each day is to type, “Good Morning, Twitters!

2. Can name everyone in Robert Scoble’s family along with their favorite start-ups and gadgets…and you’ve never met them.

3. At conferences, can be overheard saying, “Oh, you might know me by my avatar name!”

4. Update your Facebook status each time you head to a meeting.

5. Begin business letters with “@” instead of “Dear.”

6. Can name more than 5 fonts…and you’re not a designer.

7. Replaced your corporate business card with moo cards (which you then charged back to the company).

8. Have recently been promoted to a job whose title includes the words ‘evangelist’ ‘disruptor’ ‘innovator’ or ‘chief of buzz’

9. When a colleague is promoted, reply all with “w00t!” instead of “congratulations!”

Hilarious list (of course, it’s probably only funny to those of us who thrive on social media or know someone who is).

I’m one of those people who use the html tags, particularly , but that’s more for people who don’t know my brand of sarcasm. ;)
