The 16 Types Of People On Social Media

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

Facebook CatI have concluded with the modern day social media venues of blogging, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the like, most of it is lame. Not entirely useless but much of it is akin to water cooler chat in the old time offices and that is where in your mind you just have to feel you spent "enough" time with it during your day, then move on to your "real life." What helps me smile about it is categorizing the commenters, and tweeters, and responders with what I found as

The 16 Types Of People On Social Media.

A really cool psychological behavioral model of either yourself or your "friends" or "followers." Well, at least it humors ME. LOL.

  1. The "Lurker" - Never posts anything or comments on your post, but reads everything...
  2. The "Hyena" - Doesn't ever really say anything, just LOLs and LMAOs at everything.
  3. "Mr/Ms Popular" - Has 4367 friends for NO reason
  4. The "Gamer" - Plays Words With Friends, Mafia Wars, Bakes virtual cakes and stuff, etc., ALL DAY.
  5. The "Prophet" - Every post makes reference to God.
  6. The "Thief" - Steals status updates...good ideas, blog posts, photos, and will probably steal this one.
  7. The "Cynic" - Hates their life, and everything in it, as evidenced by the somber tone in ALL of their status updates.
  8. The "Collector" - Never posts anything either, but joins every group and becomes fans of the most random stuff.
  9. The "Promoter" - Always sends event invitations to things that you ultimately delete or ignore.
  10. The "Liker" - Never actually says anything, but always clicks the "like" button.
  11. The "Hater" - Every post revolves around someone hating them, and they swear people are trying to ruin their life.
  12. The "Anti-Proofreader" - This person would benefit greatly from Spellcheck, and sometimes you feel bad for them because you don't know if they were typing fast, or really can't spell.
  13. "Drama Queen/King" - This person always posts stuff like "I can't believe this!", or "They gonna make me snap today!", in the hopes you will ask what happened, or what's wrong...but they never finish telling the story.
  14. "Womp Womp" - This person consistently tries to be funny...but never is.
  15. The "News" - Always updates you on what they are doing and who they are doing it with, no matter how arbitrary.
  16. The "Rooster" - Feels that it is their job to tell the WORLD "Good Morning" every day.

I hate being classified! Does that make me a #11?

My spelling is such that people often wonder what I though I said. Does that make me a #12?

I do like to say hello. Does that make me a #16?

I do read 1,000 post for every one I post. Does that make me a #1?

I've been known to pontificate linguistly? Does that make me a #4?

The only thing I'm sure of is I do identify with that cat! Does that make me a #14?

Woltal - I know folks who fit into those categories.  But for me, I can't figure where I fit in ... at least with those outlined above.
