Different Types of Twitterers
In the world of Twittering, I have come across different types of Twitterers:
1) The overzealous twitterer – this twitterer lets you know exactly what he’s doing at any particular moment – no matter how mundane his life may be. Messages such as: “Eating a great sandwich” or “driving in my car” are characteristic of this type of user.
2) The networking twitterer – this twitterer only posts messages which show everyone else how well connected he is. Messages such as: “Just attended the latest Joost party” or “just came back from a meeting with Mike Arrington” are characteristic of this type of user. He’ll then send you to his Flickr account where you can view all the latest pics he just shot with his super cool friends.
3) The self promoting twitterer – this type of twitterer only twitters about the latest post on his blog or the latest post that somebody else wrote about him. Messages containing a link back to his blog or to blogs that talk about his blog are typical for this kind of user.
4) The weatherman twitterer – this twitterer always has to let you know what the weather is like in his area. Messages such as: “Such a hot and humid day out here” or “think it might rain soon”, characterize this type.
5) The TwittyTunes twitterer – Ever since he found out about TwittyTunes, this twitterer needs to let you know what music he’s listening to at every single minute of the day. You’ll be able to recognize this type very easily. His messages usually start with “I’m listenin’ to….”
And then there are the rest of us twitterers, who I guess are a mix of all these types put together. So for everybody out there, just wanted to let you all know (and of course I will link to this post on Twitter as well): On this very hot and humid day in Tel Aviv, just came back from a meeting with Kfir Pravda, eating a great chicken sandwich, listenin’ to Amy Winehouse, and I may go pee soon.

Good post. I can certainly think of some examples of each sort!
Thanks webomatica.
You’re welcome to add any other type of Twitterer you can think of in a following comment
It’s a little late to be posting to this, but some of my favorite Twitterers are the ones who post great links to interesting sites/blogs I might not have stumble across. I also enjoy the sort of strange intimacy I find on Twitter. There are a few folks I met at conferences only once or twice, who’s Twitters I follow religiously.
Great Blog! Glad I found you. By the way I found you through a posting on Twitter, from either Chris Brogan or Jeff Pulver, not sure which.
Hello Grace:
So glad to meet you. I’ve watched your “fearless cooking” show in the past on Network2 and really enjoyed it
I totally agree with you regarding twitter. I have also stumbled upon great links from different people and enjoy the intimacy of it all – the phrase “I wonder what’s up with X”, has completely disappeared from my lexicon when it comes to my twitter contacts.
Thanks for the kind words regarding my blog. I think I’ll go add you to my twitter contacts now
Cool post. You missed the “Obsessed videographer” Twitter type.
Loic Lemuer (sp?) of Seesmic and Scobilzer come to mind.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Hilarious. I think we eventually all find our way to a unique Twitter persona or Twittersona, if you will. ; ) I error on the side of sharing great music with a splash of poetic reflection of the daily mundane. But hey, it’s an exciting mode for discovery.
cheers,
