Stumbled on this

Ever wondered just who uses social media sites? Here are the 23 types of social media users - Which one are you?

www.kylehealey.com/the-23-types-of-social-media-users/

The O.G – The O.G remembers how the site “used to be”, before the ‘Noobs’ and ‘Spammers’ ruined things. They often let you know in the comment section that they are reminiscing of a better time when the site didn’t “suck”.

The Fake Hot Girl – Old as the internet, the Fake Hot Girl is primarily a marketing tool for ‘The Gamers’ and ‘The Spammers’. It has been largely popularized by Myspace spammers in recent history. Beware of her lures to join her on webcam or sign up for a free ipod.

The Staff – The Staff, who are patrolling any major social media site, are there largely to combat ‘The Spammers’ and ‘The Gamers’

The Know-it-All – The know-it-all thinks they know everything about every subject. And they want you to know it.

The Wannabe – They use the site’s lingo, trying to fit in the community with witty comments, yet never seems to make the cut with site regulars.

I'd have to say I'm most likely the OG, I was around when digg launched, and when myspace was cool...

Hey. I think I've been all of these at some point or another... even briefly the "Hot Girl", thanks to a wild misunderstanding in another thread
