People on twitter are just too much fun. Some of the people that I see and interact with just make me laugh myself silly at times…and at other times they make me want to smash my head into the wall.

The truth is that there is really a wide range of personality types floating around in the twitter-sphere. Some of them are obnoxious and some of them are really obnoxious. Although there are far more than five personalities found on Twitter, I’ve decided to sum up the vast majority of Twitter users into the following five categories.

The All-Knowing Guru

Twitter is flooded with Gurus. In their eyes, they are the go-to source for all knowledge related to their field of expertise. They know EVERYTHING about it and they can provide you with irrefutable advice on anything related to their subject matter.

Don’t question their advice. It is right….always.

Often these gurus are brand new to their respective niches but don’t let that disillusion you as to their level of expertise. They know exactly what they are talking about and they won’t stand to have you or anyone else challenge their authority on anything.

The Hyper-Motivational Life Coach

This tweeter’s sole existence is to inspire, motivate and transform the way that you live life. They want to fill you with passion. They want to put a smile on your face. They want to challenge you be better, stronger and faster.

You will hear absolutely nothing negative from this person. They will fill their time-line with inspirational quotes, cheerful greetings, and fun challenges.

The Autonomous Robot

This avid Twitter user pushes dozens, if not hundreds, of tweets per day through their time-line with only one small problem…they are all automatically generated. They are promoting links to their blog, website or product or they are filled with advertisements.

With as much spam as they’re putting out, they need to be careful not to be sued by Hormel Foods for copyright infringements.

Don’t bother sending them a message or a mention because they won’t notice it. They’re probably out on the lake fishing or in the gym playing basketball. The one place there not at…looking at their auto-generated twitter stream.

That’s what you’re doing…not them.

The Shameless Self-Promoter

This person has nothing to say to you. Well…nothing worth listening to. They have only one agenda on Twitter and that is to promote themselves. They are going to bombard you with links to their own site. They’re going to promote their own products. They’re going to praise themselves non-stop.

The Mind-Numbing Celebrity

For years, stalkers sought for ways to keep tabs on their favorite celebrities. They relied heavily on the paparazzi to keep them informed of the latest divorces, fights, and to find out who’s dating who.

And then came Twitter.

Now you can receive email alerts every time Paris Hilton thinks something is just so adorable. Don’t lie to me. I know you follow her. Just look at that smile.

Of course, you’re probably lowering your I.Q. every time you read one of these pop celebrities’ updates but if that’s your thing then go for it.

Conclusion

Now honestly stop in at the comments and tell me which category you fall into.

What’s that? You’re in all five?

Yeah…me too.
