How To Understand Internet Archetypes

Started by sbspalding · 10 months ago

The Internet is a funny place to live, especially when you haven’t been fully introduced to its many citizens. I decided to sit down and compile a list of some of the more interesting archetypes that you may run across in your trip across the web. It’s a top 8 list because ... Continue reading »

Yay!!! My favorite article of yours yet! I can see myself in a few of those types. I've left web communities because of a few of those types and DS9 is way better than Voyager! Kudos!

Very funny post yet so true. I think as you say the Internet mirrors life. As we become more comfortable in our online personality, we start to diversify who we are. Before starting HWH, I use to be the lurker. As I gained knowledge and confidence in the things of the web, I started to diversify and become involved.

Great point, the web is very little more than a mirror of life on a fairly large scale.

Dugg, and stumbled.

I'm changing my middle name to Stumbled Upon. I'm finding that the traffic I get from a post that has been stumbled seems to be deeper traffic. The pages per view are 3x what the Digg reader will view. Man I love Google analytics. I love this article and yes, Top ten lists are so 2005. I agree with Heather re lurking and gathering confidence and knowledge and I am hesitant to dive into a comments thread that has any Type 2s hanging out. I haven't had any type 2s yet and honestly I'm afraid of them. B-list bloggers also have a tendency to suffer form kidney stones and Rackspact just got bought by Google.

It's Pinot Noir by the way, not Penoit Noir, unless, as is very likely, I've missed some clever joke.

Interesting analogies. I think I would definately classify myself as a lurker. Well, at least I was a lurker until I just realized it and posted this... I guess I am a comentathorurker (something like that) now.

I think I will go back to being a lurker. It is easier to spell.
