The 10 Types of Twitter Personalities ...

It was in March 2009 when I came across The 14 Types of Twitter Personalities - trying to find myself there. Since then I was fascinated by the idea that "these personalities and how we present them to the world define our uses and intentions on the Twittersphere."

But 14 types? Too many!

Inspired by this article I started to find my own types of Tweeples - with the target to reduce them to 5 or at least 10. Here are the results:

1. Livestreamer – representing more than the classical answer to a stupid Twitter question: "What are You doing?" Liverstreamer consider themselves that important that they are livestreaming even the uninteresting parts of their personal life. The more follower people have the more they start livestreaming: I call it the "celebrity issue".

2. Livestreamer with Dating Ambitions – Tweeple who already lost the ability to be just for themselves - making a social movement out of every private cause. Typical: "I'm sitting in the train to Vienna. Who else is there? Shall we meet?"

3. Mindstreamer – livestreaming the poetic/cognitive/political/etc. aspects of their personal experience. These Tweeple are kind of Twitter columns - rebounding the stupid Twitter question "What are you doing" into a meaningful one: "What are you thinking about?"

4. Journalists – classical and important position in times of (natural, economic or political) crisis - complementing and threatening the monopoly of classical news media. Observing the world without rulebook.

5. Beta-Journalists – tweeting just Re-Tweets. The secret power of Twitter.

6. Tastemaker – pseudo-journalists with more opinion than fact. With this very special viral impetus. The vain side of Twitter governance.

7. Talkmaster – always faking a dialogue. "Good morning fellowers! What are you up to today?" These kind of Twitter-Gurus act very suggestive and think that the community needs their healing words.

8. Spammer – you can also call them SEO-Marketing-Gurus which is the same. They can not wait 5 seconds before the tell you how to make #Followers #Money etc … There is no reason to make a distinction between these Semi-Spammers and the real ones. Both produce unfiltered garbage.

9. Troublemaker – always attacking others’ Twitter behaviours. Accompanied by an aggressive/aggrieved undertone.

10. Metablogger – tweeting about #Twitter and mirroring Tweeple. Important position, but sometimes overstressed like everywhere new cultural techniques emerge.

What kind of personality or better: what sample of personalities are you?
