This is a funny list we started because somehow whenever we look around a crowd of people, we feel that we could tell who’s a blogger or not. The signs indicate it well and you may find that you have the same experience. We know for a fact that bloggers (serious ones) do have certain mannerisms and words that they use which are only known to bloggers. Let’s see if we can start the list - and add some if you feel like it.
1) They have dark circles under their eyes.
2) At restaurants, you will find that they take pictures of their food first before they start eating.
3) When you take their picture, they JUMP in mid air before you press the shutter.
4) Mention “plugin” and their eyes will light up.
5) They know more about current events than your local newspaper.
6) They immediately login to their laptops when you yell, “There’s an opportunity!”
7) At work, ask them if they know how to “cut and paste” and they will deny it ’till death.
They are the best people to task with cropping pictures.
9) Add yours here…

Nice post. Here’s something to add to your list:
You see them staring at people’s computer monitors in an internet cafe to check if anyone is reading their blog.
They are highly skilled at finding relevant information through Google. They can instantly determine which search results are junk and which are valuable.
When you ask them why they are silent and seem to be spaced out, they’d answer, “Just wondering if my Technorati authority has gone up.”
