The 5 Personalities of Digg |
|
Friday, 29 June 2007 |
It never ceases to amaze me, but there really seems that there are several personality types that Diggers fit in. Good or bad, every Digger has at least one element of these personalities. Whatever the case, do you fit into any of them?
"Joe Digg" - a regular on the Digg who uses it for news, and their entire social life. They tend to be Digg fanboys, and watch Diggnation religiously.
Likes: Environmental Protection, Technology, Activism for Various Topics, Apple
Dislikes: Bush, Conservatives, Republicans, Microsoft
"Troll/Troublemaker" - may or may not be a regular on Digg, but has one purpose: to argue. They don't really care what it is about, they can argue or make trouble about it.
Likes: Getting into arguments with other Diggers
Dislikes: Lots of things, if you go by their comments, otherwise, they only dislike getting banned
"Political Idealist" - The political idealist is either a Left or Right wing extremist who uses Digg to voice their opinion and push their ideas.
Likes: Promoting their causes, sometimes for personal gain, other times for intrinsic value
Dislikes: Being silenced or opposed
"Apple Fanboy" - These Diggers love Apple and Apple products more than life itself.
Likes: Apple! OMGoSh! I want an iPhone!
Dislikes: Everything Microsoft
"Spammer/Self Promoter" - The Spammer/Self promoter is either a robot, or an individual. They still Digg stories they like, and comment about things (sometimes), but they have a deeper purpose - promote themselves. They usually use Digg to gain visitors and backlinks, and rarely submit anything that isn't from one of their sites.
Likes: Digging themselves (sometimes with multiple accounts), getting traffic, AdSense clicks
Dislikes: Dealing with Digg's admins
