According to The Nielsen Company, global consumers spent more than five and half hours on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter in December 2009. After reading this report I thought to analyze which site is used by which kind of user. But before going on for full investigation I would like to clear that it is not to criticize any particular site. This article focuses on how you can know the personality of an individual by just knowing which his favorite site is.
I am going to do the clinical dissection of users of three famous sites. These are Facebook, Orkut and Twitter. About other sites I really can’t say much as I don’t know personally about people using them. These three sites serve almost same purpose but still different user prefers different sites. So let’s start the game.
User 1: A very social person, for him social networking site is just a medium to keep in touch with friends, prefer talking to them more often and also like more security. This person will use orkut more than any other site. His priority is to share things only with friends.
User 2: This person is with lots of attitude. For him it is enough that his friends are keeping an eye on his activities on the site. He likes to play games or try different things. Also some might join this site to look into others album only. For this person the site is Facebook.
User 3: He is either a great fan of some celebrity, and would like to know even when his hero sneezes, or like to have his own followers. Hence more chances are that this person is a celebrity himself. I know you have guessed which site is this. It is none other that Twitter.
Other observations: Orkut user like things in order. For them scrapbooks, testimonials and status messages are all equally important. On the other hand a Facebook user has status message at the centre of all. For him writing on others wall or sending message is nothing less than doing job in office or doing homework. The third kind of user is a loyal fan of celebrity and keeps the good work of retweeting to their tweets and considers any tweet to them as reward.
Now in the end would like to add a twist, because I know, you would be wondering which site out of three is my choice?
I will use blogging and all three because I have friends of all three type.
PS: Comment if you find any fact true about you.
