The Seven Personality Types on Social Media

Chris Street

So, as the force that is social media drives onwards and upwards, more and more newbies are entering the online foray that is Facebook, Twitter, personal blogging and the myriad of other social spaces available for us to live, work, and play on.

And with it, they bring their personalities into the social media spectrum, too. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

It’s important to understand the different personalities at work on social media platforms – so you can better understand how to connect, engage and build relationships with them. Or, on occasions, how to avoid the difficult and negative types out there.

These personality types can be found hanging out on pretty much all social media platforms – and for truly effective social media engagement, you’ll need to be able to spot them. Quickly.

Nobody wants to spend time engaging with a personality type on Facebook, for example, to find they are actually not beneficial, positive, genuine, open, honest and useful for forging a decent, long-term social media-based relationship.

How does the law, social media and you work together? One person found out that just by tweeting a threat that he could be brought up on charges. How are you handling your social media communications? Are you using social media as a way to vent your frustrations? Be careful because you never know who’s “reading”. What are you thoughts?

Social-media and the law

An English man has unintentionally gotten himself in trouble with the law through the use of social-media.

In January of this year, Paul J. Chambers found himself frustrated by a snowstorm that grounded his flight to Northern Ireland to meet a woman he’d met online.

In his frustrated state, Chambers tweeted, “You’ve got a week to get your [expletive] together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high!!” to his 690 followers.

It was by mere coincidence that the tweet was even found.. An airport manager looking for Robin Hood Airport-related items saw the post a few days later and reported it.Read more at thenewsaboutthenews.blogspot.com

Web Shames Magazine for Plagiarizing Blogger’s Article

Old media often bemoans the copy-and-paste habits of bloggers and self-professed citizen journalists, alleging that the “re-reporting” they do is more akin to plagiarism than journalism.

Smarting under these kinds of accusations, the blogosphere eagerly took up a story writer Monica Gaudio posted to her blog Wednesday evening in which she described how a for-profit print magazine called Cooks Source published a 5-year-old post she had penned for the blog Gode Cookery. The article was published without Gaudio’s permission.

A friend who had seen the article wrote to Gaudio congratulating her and asking her how she had gotten the article published in the magazine, which has a circulation of about 20,000. “This was news to me, as I hadn’t ever heard of this magazine before,” she said.

Twitter Increases Student Engagement [STUDY]

Communicating in 140-character segments may seem to contradict the goals of generally long-winded academia, but a new study has found that the two are less opposed than one might think. Students in the study who were asked to contribute to class discussions and complete assignments using Twitter (Twitter) increased their engagement over a semester more than twice as much as a control group.

Twitter

The study used a 19-question survey based on the National Survey of Student Engagement to measure student engagement at the beginning and end of a seminar course for first year students in pre-health professional programs. Four sections (70 students) were given assignments and discussions that incorporated Twitter, such as tweeting about their experiences on a job shadow day or commenting on class readings. Three sections (55 students) did the same assignments and had access to the same information, but didn’t use Twitter.
