Thanks to Marketo, a marketing software company, we now can categorize nine social media addicts as well as their symptoms. It is quickly to point the finger and call someone else a "Facebook Addict" because they change their status every five minutes, but their are other addicts as well. Social Media sites and this new way of communicating has been affecting lives without the realization of it. Below is a summary of the nine social media addicts and their symptoms.
1. The Alert-Lover: Receives alerts on phone and loses complete focus when phone receives a notification.
2. Social Guru: Claims to know everything about Social Media sites and even illustrates the title on personal business cards.
3. Verb Creator: Constantly stating that you need to upload pictures, make statues and tweet everything someone says.
4. The Vowel Hater: Removing all vowels in order to get the most out of the 140 character limit on Twitter. This incorrect spelling now rolls over into papers, emails, and other important documents.
5. The Blog Referencer: Refuses to answer questions directly because they would rather write an insightful blog and refer people to look their for your answer.
6.The Self-Proclaimed Influencer: Get excited about providing useful information on social media sites.
7. Multi-Mayor: Constantly "checking in" to every restaurant and establishment to become well known there.
8. The Liker: Instead of commenting on status and pictures, the liker simply "likes" post.
9. The Constant Checker: Always checking phone for updates on social media sites without regard of the company you are keeping. This can affect job opportunities because you are checking your phone during interviews or walking into an interview.
