Some new words that have entered our vocabulary so far thanks to the world of blogging, etc. Perhaps one or more applies for you!
EGO-SURFING: when you frequently check your name and reputation on the internet.
BLOG STREAKING: revealing secrets or personal information online which for everybody's sake would be best kept private.
CRACKBERRY: the curse of the modern executive: not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry, even at your grandmother's funeral.
GOOGLE-STALKING: snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates.
CYBERCHONDRIA: a headache and a particular rash at the same time; extensive online research tells you it must be cancer.
PHOTOLURKING: flicking through a photo album of someone you've never met.
WIKIPEDIHOLISM: excess devotion to contributing to the online collaborative encyclopaedia Wikipedia. Wikipedia even has a page where you can test whether you're an addict.
CHEESEPODDING: Downloading of a song so cheesy that you could cover it in plastic wrap and sell it at the deli counter; cheesepodders are especially vulnerable to soft-rock favourites from the 1970s.
