Which One Are You?

I am a self-confessed Facebook addict. I have the app loaded on my iPhone and I check notifications every few hours. Since I am on it on a regular basis, I have noticed that there are different kinds of users. Based on my observations, let me define them.

Preachers

These are the ones who love to post quotes about God, life, and how the world can be a better place. A few are subscribed to the app "Daily Quotations."

Entrepreneurs

Business people disguised as "friends." They tag you in their albums hoping that you either purchase something or have a million other friends who see their products.

Event Planners

The ones who use Facebook to organize events like high school reunions and star-gazing events.

Stalkers

The ones who use it to keep track of old boyfriends/girlfriends. Not me. Really, I have never looked mine up, not even once !-)

There is the other kind who never make their presence felt but is up-to-date on the "top stories." Hint: Be careful about those settings. Make sure they are set to "friends only."

Facebook Snobs

They don't post, they don't comment or press the Like button. These are those who think being on Facebook too much means you do not have a life.

Gamers

The ones who have two accounts, one for their lives and one for "Farmville."

Socializers

These are the ones who use Facebook strictly to catch up on the lives of old friends, acquaintances, and distant relatives.

Sharers

These are the "I love this song, video, news article ....so you must want the link."

The other kind are the ones who love to share pictures of family vacations.

Networkers

The ones whose friend request you feel you cannot ignore. In other words, people you never get to see outside of work.

"Tweeters"

They give running commentaries and update their status every hour.

Chatters

They use the application strictly as a chatting tool.

I will be the first to say I am a combination of more than one of the above. There is no right or wrong as long as we all respect each other and adhere to the same good manners that are expected when we share the same space. I forgot, the last category are the ones who still use "Myspace."
