Facebook personalities

This article detailing the 12 most annoying types of Facebookers is one of the most viewed stories on CNN.

The list is pretty accurate, spanning Facebook pet peeves like The TMIer ("Sarah is wondering why she can't stop barfing.") and The Sympathy-Baiter ("John is hoping things will get better.")

Faithful readers of this blog know my least favorite Facebooker: The PDAer.

It's not included on the aforementioned list, but it should be.

Nothing annoys me more than the Facebooker who uses the social networking tool primarily to tout his/her significant other's awesomeness.

Sample status updates include, but are not limited to: "Mary is lucky to have the best boyfriend ever!" "Kyle is having dinner with his beautiful wife!" "Megan is looking forward to date night with the hubby!"

Wow. I almost broke into a fit of rage just typing those.

If you hate Facebook PDAers as much as I do, check out this site, which pokes fun at married peoples' status updates.
