1) Digg is the first place you visit online. Bonus points if it's your homepage.
2) You check Digg more than once a day because you're scared you're going to miss out on a great story if you leave it until tomorrow to check again.
3) You visit Digg so much that the newest story is STILL the newest story the next time you visit.
4) If you don't have access to a computer for a few days, you'll still go back twenty or thirty pages through articles to make sure you've not missed anything important while you've been gone.
5) You never need to check the "Top in 24 hours", "7 Days" etc. pages. You've already seen every story on there as they were being dugg.
6) You've browsed Upcoming Stories because you want to make the first funny comment on that article you've found and get people to digg you up more.
7) You increase the size of the Upcoming Stories cloud text because you want to make sure you read every single article title.
8) You feel kind of honoured if Kevin Rose joins in a comment thread that you're part of.
9) You feel like Kevin Rose has become your personal friend, even though you've never talked to him.
10) You like digging up/digging down every comment for an article. It just feels better when all those thumbs are finally greyed out.
11) It really bugs you if you get dugg down, regardless of what you've said.
12) You go back and check for replies to your comments more than once. In fact, you check daily.
13) You feel really downhearted when no one replies to your comment or diggs you up.
14) You kind of hope people will think you're cool enough to view your profile and visit your personal website via it.
15) You wish more of your real life friends knew about and were addicted to Digg as much as you are.
From the comments:
16) You don't tell your real friends about Digg so you can give them the news personally. It makes you feel important.
If I see any others I like in the comments, I'll add them to this list.

So.... How many have to apply before you need therapy?
I can relate to every single one of those. I thought everyone on digg was as bad as i was. I check the home page prolly 3 times an hour. :(
I'd write a witty comment to this but I have to go check digg.
I guess I am addicted to digg. I guess I am addicted to the Internet, too. I guess I am addicted to technology. I guess I am addicted to computers. I guess I am addicted to keyboards. I guess I am addicted to monitors. I guess I am addicted to broadband.
Let's be grateful that we have the Internet. Let's be grateful we can even enjoy the ability to communicate with the world from the comfort of our bedrooms, livingrooms, or any room, for that matter.
100% true, adiggted.

First of all...if you have to ASK whether you are addigted, YOU ARE.
You're even MORE addiggted if you keep checking this blog to see who else has posted a comment here since the last time you looked.
You're addiggted if you are so preoccupied with DIGGing that you are reluctant to leave the computer for a bathroom break.
You're addiggted if you keep thinking about how soon you'll get a chance to log onto DIGG.
You're addiggted if your prayers include a special request for your DIGG submission to make the front page.
You're addiggted if you get your spouse, parent, or child involved in DIGG so that he or she won't object so much to the amount of time you spend on DIGG.
You're addiggted if you have a "friendly rivalry" with another DIGGaholic about who can climb the fastest in the DIGG rankings.
You're addiggted if you are always making suggestions to the DIGG staff about how to enhance and improve DIGG.
You're addiggted if you get an adrenaline kick from tracking three comment flame wars at once.
You're addiggted if you have devised your own ways to get news scoops, and you never tell ANYBODY about them.
You're addiggted if you're both irritated and impressed when you find that someone else has beaten you to a good DIGG scoop.
You're addiggted if you're always thinking of squeaky-clean, but nonetheless scathing, comebacks for trolls.
You're addiggted if you evaluate everything you see for its DIGG front-page story potential.
I could probably think of more, but this will do for now...
