If you can recite ID3, RSS, XML, API, URL, and Wii, and know the difference...
If you write without vwls...
If photos of your cat are suddenly more interesting to you...
If you shake your head when I say "biting chumps,"...
If when I say "Beacon," you nod gravely...
If you've imported your inbox into yet another network, ...
If you have an opinion on scraping...
If you miss Amanda...
If you actually fill out metadata...
If a "regular" cell phone isn't enough...

If you are searching for Ron's Twitter address (which is not conveniently located on the right side of his blog), you might be in the Fishbowl

If you catch yourself introducing your friends by their twitter names to others, by their twitter names, you might be in the Fishbowl.

If you know the difference between SL and RL, you might be in the Fishbowl.
If you suddenly shot "Woot!" in RL and get strange looks from bystanders, you might be in the Fishbowl.
If you think DM-ing is the most effective way to get someone's attention, you might be in the Fishbowl.
If the most interesting question you answer today is "What are you doing?" you are definitely in the fishbowl...

If you hear the word 'meme' and don't say "A what?" you might be in the Fishbowl.

If, more often than not, your answer to the question of, "What did you do today?" is met with blank stares...
If you wonder why your attempts at flying and teleporting to the grocery store are unsuccessful...
If, when a celebrity death is announced on Google News you ask, "What took them so long?"
(To the point of #4 above) If you don't think that someone "Twittering" in a public restroom should be arrested...
If you not only have to check your schedule for a meeting time but if it's in RL or SL....
If you schedule "family time" around Twitter downtime...
If you go home at the end of the day and say to your wife, "Hi @honey."

If you respond to a comment asking why they can't find a twitter badge on your blog...you might be in the fishbowl. Ask and you shall receive, Linda!

If you hear about what your spouse is doing, in the next room, via his Twitter feed, you're *definitely* in the fishbowl!

If you know where CitizenSpace is, you're in the fishbowl.
If you've donated to the Frozen Pea Fund and know about Boobs on Ice, you're definitely in the fishbowl.
If you have a peavatar, a crocatar, and an avatar photo taken with your iPhone, you're definitely in the fishbowl.
If you dream about the same 20 top friends on your socnets on a nightly basis, even while on vacation, in 140 character dreamtweets, you are *so* in the fishbowl.
If you plan your vacation around when you can go to an internet cafe and tweet and check your socnet messages, you might as well check into the fishbowl for life.
If you sign up for Jeff Sass's Twitter Rehab program and you have met him in person, and you have met Chris Brogan and Robert Scoble in person, you own part of the fishbowl.
If you know about Club 140, Tweeterboard, Scantweets, Terraminds, and use Jesse Stay's auto-follow script to add followers, you own part of the fishbowl and have bought stock in it.
If you are posting a comment here, you are not only in the fishbowl, you are swimming in it up to your gills. Have a rockin' day. ;-)
If you regularly make up words to express your new media thoughts - words like "twittable", "seesgasmic" and "blogtacular" - you might be in the fishbowl.
If you hear "branding" and don't immediately think of cattle, you might be in the fishbowl.
If you've ever "ghost-twitted", you might be in the fishbowl.
If you find yourself responding to your significant other's comments at a new media site, you might be in the fishbowl. Or in the doghouse.
If you've ever told someone to "ping me", you might be in the fishbowl.

You may be in the fishbowl if you find out your spouse is taking on part-time PPC gigs after work when you see the listing on your Craigslist feed on Ginger.
You may be in the fishbowl if, after working for your home-based company for a year and a half, your internet-unsavvy spouse is now qualified to get a job full time as a media and search engine analyst...and does.

....your wife finds out about what you are up to and where you are via Twitter
...you get a ping of guilty anytime you order Bacon at breakfast
...you have dinner with friends and you assume they know everything that is going on in your life since you've blogged, seesmic and tweeted everything
...your vocabulary is full of words that were never intended to be used as verbs. Google it, just facebook me, are you going to Flickr that?

... if you keep forgetting vowels in regular words.
... if you look for an API for everything, including your stove and refrigerator.

You're in the fishbowl if you know that the 21st comment is completely past the attention span of the average fishbowler and will never get read.
