Two kinds of people on facebook.

I am a proud voyeur. I don't see the need to post every single thing that happens to me in my day there. However, I do know of the missing third type of person in Facebook that you forgot about..this is funny The Love Obsessed This is the person who has to post every few seconds about how in love they are, how much they miss the person they are with, how happy they are..they even go as far as posting all these pointless pictures of them and the other person..everything seems syrupy sweet and gross UNTIL.. that person doesn't respond to a text or call fast enough, says or does something this person doesn't like..then, they want to post all those 'I Am Better Without" you picture posts and might even go as far as picking a fight with the person on their wall. All to be ignored or dumped..then, it's on to the next person to fall hopelessly in love with..in the cases that I witness everyday, it's always a girl and the guy always really belongs to someone else..

Oppss... I don't know which group I belong lol. I log in my facebook everyday, just to see if my brother and my best friend is online so I can chat with and know the whereabouts of my mother and brothers, who happens to doesn't have access to internet. Sometimes, I will tick likes of some of my friends posts and that's it. Other than that, I feel that I am just wasting my time if I will stay longer than usual.

Well i think im a voyeur type.i dont post regularly but i love reading my friendgr posts hehe

I think I belong to the voyeur, not really a fun of posting all my activities, messages and photos.

Hello eileen, I don´t consider myself either one of those types I am just a logger in type that can sometimes add a few likes here and there between precious friends from before and maybe one or two others from now and that´s it. I don´t have much time to travel anywhere on the internet but I am pleased I have gleaned a bit of information from here as well so I never feel bad about being on here or on Facebook. I think that there are many types of Facebook users but I do not fit into the first two at all. Fitting in being on here between other things is something I have to want to do otherwise I just do not post and there are times when this computer is used for work of the offline kind so I do not get a look in at all.xxx

I agree with you, i don't belong to any group, i have a FB account, but i visit the site once in a blue moon only. Thanks for this discussion

I am not visiting my account for posting my status updates, my photos and everything happen to me everyday. Unlike when I was working abroad I spent more time on facebook to communicate and monitor my family. Now, I only post about my other online program that need more views.

I would like to categorize myself in voyeur group but I'm not updated about others' activities. I only post the photo or status I want to post. I'm not that active in Facebook. I only use its chat to send and receive IMs.

uhm I can say I'm a little bit of the two.I said so because I can strongly admit that I upload and update anything that is happening to me on my facebook account minus the parts that need not to be posted like my super personal stuffs such as pin numbers, passwords etc.

Wow, thinking about it in this way, I don't think that we would want to think that we fall into either of the two groups of netizens that you've mentioned. However, I do think that if we were to think about it that we would all be able to say that there is one or the other of the two groups in which we would best fit. For me, I would have to say that the group that I better fall into is the group of the voyeur. I don't post all the time, but I do frequently tend to read the posts that other people have made.

Hi, Yes, you are almost correct. If we divide the categories into two basic groups, the tendency comes in such a way. For me, I want my page so professional and looking neat and appealing. As you said, it is our stigma that we need to pop up with new things and update daily alongwith our daily life events. Some people are more particular to upload many photos especially their life styles and more. Some are quite happy on linking to others and particular to go through the interlink connections too. However, depend on the nature of the person, they move around with their page and we can almost estimate a person's nature also by viewing their site and my evaluation is more ore less true with their real nature.

Not belong to any of these groups since I am not an active member of facebook. I can't remember the last time I was there. So, I must have missed many things about my friends there. But i know that many of the members are exhibitor. Otherwise facebook won't be the popular social site~(^^)

I don't use fb frequently. But every time I sign in, I love to know new photos or new information about my friends. I love that all truth of their life. Because we can't meet to each other, so, fb is a good way.

I think i am the voyeur. Thanks for making me know this now.

Hello eileenlyva, this sure wasn't like it back in the days of friendster, in friends the gig back then was having a cool profile background and lots and lots of darn comments on your profile or so many views in the profile. facebook i guess, a different kind of social media site that arouses the one you mentioned here in your discussion. I would like to classify myself as a little bit voyeur, but never the exhibitionist, never guts to post most of my pictures online

Maybe there are also normal people on Facebook ? If there are only exhibitors and voyeurs, then I am a member of the voyeurs nursing staff : I use FB only to do online tasks with fake accounts and email addresses that I never check, and I take care of voyeurs by offering them spam to give spice to their life by accumulating useless data on ghost users.

I can slightly be categorized as the exhibitor. I enjoys posting photos, updating status, commenting on friends post but purpose is not to brag. I don;t post photos of my new branded shoes, watches, bags, etc... some are doing such

I'm more of a voyeur. I usually share funny pictures and join giveaways, with rarely putting up photos and bragging about where I'm eating out or where I'm going for a vacation. I do status updates rarely, too.
