HOW MANY TYPES OF NETIZENS WE ENCOUNTER IN SOCIAL MEDIA?

This question was lingering in my mind for quite a number of years ever since I joined the Social
Media way back in 2009 through Facebook. As years passed on I evinced my interests in many
other Multi Media avenues using interest only with the sole aim to learn on regular basis and collect
Bonafide sources and Reference Materials for my Research Activities. Over the last 11 years or so
I have been interacting with different types of Netizens both from known and unknown contacts on
varied subjects like Banking, Law, IT, Music, Cricket and above all Politics. I am pleased to share
some of the major types of Netizens where each and every one of us belong to one or many category:
 Some are very active and ensures social responsibility to post any clip or information useful
to all age groups. They interact with everyone in his contacts giving due respects without
any driven agenda. They also ensure that they do not bring any controversy in responding
to posts and strives hard that any discussion in thread is put to end with a logical conclusion.
 Some almost stay mute and unresponsive to information and drives himself to a fixed agenda
though very active in social media with specific areas of interest like Sports, Cinema, etc.
 Some have an apprehension due to complexity issues to participate in social media
discussions due language and texting constraints but very knowledgeable in varied subjects.
 Some make selective responses to posts, threads and information shared by many in his
known contacts but keeps active in social media in activities regularly.
 Some has specific liking to people in his own close circle and selectively acknowledges his
presence only to those posts emanated from his known contacts.
 Some blindly forwards and shares information, message captions or links received from
unknown sources without going through the contents or understanding the sensitivity of
information ultimately puts everyone into trouble. They neither own up responsibility nor
prepared to explain or justify the contents shared when any clarifications are sought.
 Some become very active during festivals forwarding all captions, GIFs, etc piling up our
storage space and keep doing it multiple times and then vanish once for all.
 Some ensures that they regularly forward Good Morning & Good Night Captions with
Messages inscribed to pretend as if they have authored the same or saying something to the
receiver which may or may not be relevant at that moment. Even stale messages containing
outdated quotations and philosophies are shared even without understanding the meaning.
 Some possess a unique habit of creating messages or posts on their own and ensures that
their signature class is apparently visible and felt in all their posts. They share original
thoughts emanated out of their innovative ideas and maintain good relationships with his
followers respecting their opinion and takes utmost care and caution that they don’t spread
any hatred towards any Religion or Belief even if they have difference on opinion and
ideologies. They also ensure to arrest spread of fake or sensitive information received.
 Some originate posts to seek help for personal matters related to Donations, Support links,
Contact & routine daily activities but once they gain the required source of information they
desist from extending courtesy to acknowledge and simply stay away from his own original
post to let the matter laid to rest on its own through subsequent posts or passage of time.
 Some totally stay away from the Social Media without active participation having a false
apprehension that his data will be stolen or hacked by Cyber Criminals but prefers to use
Andriod or smart phones exclusively for playing games and contests ignorantly.
 Some prefer to stay smart and ensure that their Ideologies and Thoughts are confined to their
own with utmost privacy and no other person including his own family members could make
out. They explore all benefits of Internet and Social Media only for professional purposes.
