12 annoying types on facebook

Summary


In a story on cnn.com , there is a funny and informative little article about twelve different annoying types of facebookers. The first type is the 'let-me-tell-you-everything-about my-day-bore'. The description is just like it sounds. Status updates every hour on the hour about every little thing they do. The second type is the 'self promoter'. Someone who brags about every little achievement, every opportunity they get. The third type is the 'friend padder'. The 'friend padder' is the person that has a thousand or more friends, as if they are really that popular. The fourth type is the 'town crier'. The 'town crier' is the one who posts all the gossip and sad news before you even get a chance to see it on the news. The fifth type is the 'tmi'er'. That is the person that over shares personal information, such as 'Brad went to Walgreen's to get cream for his pesky hemroids'. The sixth type is the 'bad grammarian'. That is the person who far surpasses the loose grammatical rules of the digital world, and takes their bad grammar to a moronic level. The seventh type is the 'sympathy baiter'. This is the person that always posts sad little updates with the intent of baiting you into giving them your sympathy. The eighth type is the 'lurker'. This person doesn't ever post on your status or any of your posts, but then at a later time, they bring up something that you had posted, reveiling that they have been lurking in the shadows of your page watching you. The ninth type is the 'crank'. These are the cranky, hateful people, who have something mean or negative to say all the time. The tenth type is the 'papparazzo'. This is the friend who post pictures of you, that you didn't even know they took, and without asking your permission to do so. The eleventh type is the 'obscurist'. This person post bleak, nonesense with the hopes of sounding mysterious. And finally the twelth is the 'chronic inviter'. This person invites you to take every quiz, join every cause, and see every video that happens across their path.

I was laughing as I was reading this article. I am an avid facebooker, and I have encountered, probably even on a daily basis, each of these twelve annoying types. To all my friends, I love you, but these things really are annoying. To be totally honest though, I myself aam just as guilty of some of these at times. Now days, we have the great power of making our presence known to the world, or atleast among our circle of friends. But with great power, comes great responsibility, and yes that is a quote from spiderman, but still true all the same. I know I will be facebooking more respectably from now on, unless of course I've been drinking. I reccomend everybody that is on facebook, read this article. If you are not on facebook, why not? It is alot of fun.
