Has anyone noticed that people you normally know and like seem to turn into completely different people on facebook? I've managed to narrow them down into these categories:


1) Hyper-Fwitters

People that use Facebook like some kind of Twitter on crack. "I've just got on the bus". "Ew this man stinks next to me on the bus". "I just got off the bus". Not to be confused with people that just give general updates, the purpose for which status is intended.

2) Passive-aggressive

People that use Facebook like a punch bag. "SOME PEOPLE NEED TO STOP BEING SO BITCHY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THINGS THAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT FIND SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE". I tend to block their updates from going on my front page...

3) Hung-over people

People that just use facebook to upload drunken pictures and establish that "last night got out of hand and I'm hanging out of my arse"

4) Wisdom Wangers

People that just use status updates to establish meaningful sentiments or quotes about life. "Don't worry be happy" "I'm not a shop" etc

5) Braggers

People that purely use Facebook as a means to establish superiority or boast. "Daddy just bought me a new BMW.. I'm so happy right now!!!!1" or "I just got into Mensa, my body is throbbing with superiority"

6) Old People

"hello lynn" comment: "you do realise this is a status right?" *new status* "yes"

7) Attention cravers

Those props who post status updates that are begging people to reply 'are you/ is everything ok?', only for the person to reply 'i'll inbox you' to selected people who respond, rather than just saying what's wrong openly!

8) Normal People

Hugely in the minority, but just use facebook for its intended purpose.


Sometimes I wonder why I use it, but it is quite entertaining. I guess most of my statuses are quotes about life, or the fact that I should really get back to the gym...

Actually mine was "Who cares who got into what uni, I got into Mensa" :p haha!

but I'm generally status-less or a number 4 on the odd occasion, if pondering counts.
 
(3) is the worst group. I have maybe 50 friends who only ever post saying "OMG CANT WAIT TO GET LASHED TONITE ITS GONNA BE MESSY" or "LAST NIGHT WAS AMAZING BUT I CANT REMEMBER ANY OF IT LOL". This on repeat.

I culled over 100 "friends" recently, realising that I don't care about any of them anymore.:D
 
I have no comment to make other than, nice shades.

Ditto, most were number 3's...

Infact, this classification system is going on my facebook...does that make me a 4? :p

Oh, you forgot one: attention cravers. Those props who post status updates that are begging people to reply 'are you/ is everything ok?', only for the person to reply 'i'll inbox you' to selected people who respond, rather than just saying what's wrong openly!

ah yes i know the type there are a few girls i know whos status' are always just like:

:( or the likes
 
It's weird, with forums I understand that because it's anonymous people do often unload.

But with Facebook it's 250+ on average people who you know, work with, socialise with. I mean I wouldn't send a personal text message to that many people why some choose to do it on Facebook is puzzling.
 
7. Respectable people who use the features wisely for organising events, contacting old friends and laughing at the other 90% of users idiot status updates.
 
The posts that are comments towards a third party that they do not divulge, good or bad. Example:"God I hate that you did that last night, you know who you are!"

I also have someone on my list who uses it like twitter and says that he spams because of all the spam he has to put up with...logic! Example: "I am once again posting about xxx but you can't complain because I have to put up with posts about X-Factor et al."
