What's Missing? Send Feedback
Please use the comments below to add any obvious or missing behaviors...or personality types? Niccolo is OK if others can apply his method to the environment around him. He just wants to make sure we're always peeling the onion on human behavior. So again, what's missing? Leave your comments below. Thanks.

What about people who like to shout out at a particular city, region or country, much like old school rappers do? I like to use twitter to keep in touch and taunt people on the opposite coasts of the US and Asia. Sometimes I just want talk to people in the neighborhood, like the Upper West Side as a group, much like Steven Colbert talks to his 'Nation'. The scale is not important, but a member of this group must have geographic target audiences in mind. I suggest a new group...ConstituentTweeters

How about Twittercide? When someone abuses their followers with too many posts, too boring, too much information, just too much that results in people *unfollowing* them.
Then, just wondering if there's any Twitterquette we should be following? I guess a start would be to avoid becoming any of the undesirables defined in the body of your article.

TwitterTwits - the truly clueless that somehow managed to wander into the scene and cannot, for the the life of them, seem to figure ouot how to get out. Twittering bleakly about "It's so dark in here, I haven't found an exit..."
Where is a grue when you need one?

TuttiTwitties, people who follow everyone.

Pete, how about "Twitreviews" (or "Twitterviews" or "Twitpinions") - opinions/recommendations/pans posted by users (i.e., "Iron Man rocked!", "My Treo 700p sucks", etc.)?

CheeseSpam
A comment from a twitter blog post:
"The fact that the individual is “streaming live now” and wants to chat with you, blogging, and eating a cheese sandwich makes me as a follower uncomfortable and unwilling to interact with them."
Why CheeseSpam? The cheese sandwich comment is right on. My own theory: the other person must think such tweets are Fon-to-Due. lol.

I'm noticing the rise of Twitics.

Twitless: They have an account, have serveral followers from their other networks, and .... the silence is deafening. (Self portrait??)
Twurkers: Again, nothing to say, but follow EVERYBODY. (Similar to TuttiTwitties?)

Twittaddicts - Twitter addicts that can resist being one minute offline or not following their twitter feeds and responding accordingly to everything.
