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.
  • fixed :)
  • 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.
  • Nothing wrong with lurking, heh. Happy Holidays!
