This Sunday will be more webby than ever, as we celebrate Internet Day. We've thought about what this means for Ciao users and produced some light-hearted profiles of common types of internet users. Do you think you fit into any of these (go on - be honest!) or have we missed any out? Please leave a comment if you've got something to say.
The optimistic one: Normally has a very positive approach to comments. Likes giving advice and recommendations to others; if there is something he dislikes he doesn't say it openly, just mentions “some” things that could improve or focuses on the positive stuff.
The grumpy one: Complains about everything. Companies are afraid of this one because any product or service is inevitably a disappointment. He won't stop until his words are read by every member of his network!
The techie one: Likes to stay ahead of the pack. His comments are, mostly, about gadgets or technological things. He uses hi-tech jargon and if he can he is happy to dismantle a favourite gadget in front of the camera.
The friendly one: Focussed on making friends through the web. He likes to spread positive feedback about users more than he likes to boast about himself. Always available and happy to share his details across other social networks.
The 2.0 one: You'll spot this one very easily because his comments are full of links to other blogs, pages or reviews. Takes each interaction very seriously and participates in many forums.
The 1.0 one: Unlike the 2.0 one, he only recently started using the internet. Often asking questions, like "what happens when I double click on the picture?"
The know-it-all: He believes he is always right and he doesn’t like to be contradicted. If someone leaves a comment but disagrees with what he says, he tends to answer in a strong and angry tone!
So admit it… which one are you? Leave a comment below...
