OK, I admit it. I am a former Twitter naysayer transformed into a Twaddict. I'm still trying to figure out how this social medium will evolve as more and more people discover it. What kind of tweeter are you?
- The Depressed: "Ate a bad clam" or "Feeling sad today." Sigh.
- Tweeting for tweet's sake: "Got up." "Ate breakfast." "Went to lunch." "Saw a movie." Scintillating.
- The Overachiever: "6 a.m. Just ran 14 miles, mixed up a protein shake and finished another chapter in my book." I might just join the ranks of the perennially depressed after reading these kinds of posts.
- The Guru: Lots of folks are experts, gurus, mentors and coaches. I may be feeling inadequate.
- The Educator. Love the tweeters with tidbits of information, articles, research, news items.
- The Constant Retweeter. It's like cable reruns. Enough, already!
- The Seeker. Finds the quirkiest and most interesting articles and links. One of my favorite tweeter types.
- The App and Product Tweeters. I'll check your stuff out if I have time, but does it always have to be about you?
- The Autotweeters. Save time, automate the process and bug your followers. It didn't take long for someone to figure out that you could tweet all at once and have an app spread your tweets around throughout the day.
- The Non-followers. I don't follow everyone (why would a surfer dude be interested in anything I have to say?), but I follow most people who follow me. When they don't follow me, I feel snubbed. That's just silly, I know.
