Twitter : quel avatar êtes-vous ?

Habituellement, quand on parle de catégories Twitter, c’est pour classer les profils en fonction de domaines d’expertise, d’intérêt… ou de leur manière de se comporter sur le site de microblogging. Or, là, ça change. Il s’agit des avatars. Scott Williams a défini 20 profils, en se basant sur l’avatar utilisé. Sympa !

Et vous, quel avatar êtes-vous ? Moi, n° 2. Vous en voyez d’autres ?

1. Picture Me Rollin’- This is the person that uses their vehicle or maybe even a dream vehicle as their profile pic.
2. All Up In Your Face- This is the person whose Twitter profile pic. is extra, extra tight shot.  This is the type of Twitter Profile Pic. that I use (@scottwilliams).  I personally think you need a tight shot because no matter the application you use, the pic. is going to be very small.
3. The Rock Star- This is the person who has a microphone, stage, instrument, pulpit or podium somewhere in their profile pic.  This person is saying, watch me do my thang.
4. The Bird- This is the person who either doesn’t know how or hasn’t taken the time to add a profile pic.  This person is perfectly content with the standard ugly Twitter Bird.
5. Love Bird- This person is so in love that they cannot be separated from the love of their life.  They can’t even be separated in their profile pic., singing “Just the two of us, we can make it if we try just the two of us… you and I.”
6. Too Cool For School- This person is so cool that they can get away with wearing their sunglasses at night.  Not only do they wear their sunglasses at night, they represent their sunglasses in their profile pic.
7. Show Me The Money-  This is the person that has pics. of money or dollar $igns in their profile pic.  Many of the affiliate-network-guru-spammer type folks that claim you can make $5,000 a day roll with this pic.
8. Fantasy Island- This is the person who would love to have the little guy named Tattoo from Fantasy Island be their spokesperson.  They are enamored with their ink and represent their tattoos in their profile pic.  If you are too young to know who Tattoo or Fantasy Island is, click here.
9. I’m Too Sexy For My Twitter-  This is the person who takes the sexy strike-a-pose pic. for their Twitter profile.  This person’s pic. is not quite inappropriate, but it’s darn sure an attempt at being sexy.  Many are just that… an attempt!
10. The Model- This is the person who looks off into space and has a side-shot photo.  The model means serious business when they pose, they will even bust out a glamour shot pic.
11. The Porn Star- This is the inappropriate and many times down right vulgar spammer that we all wish would just go away.
12. Peta Tweeta- This is the person that loves their pet so much, the pet is front and center on their profile pic.  It’s just kinda weird receiving a tweet, @reply, or DM from Scooby-Doo.
13. Logo No-Go- This person represents their logo instead of a pic.  Often types this person has difficulty distinguishing between their personal brad and their logo brand.
14. The Animator- This is the annoying moving motion graphic profile pics.  These profile pics. definitely stand out, although that’s not necessarily a good thing.
15. The Cartoonist- This person represents a cartoon looking avatar version of themselves.
16. The Little Guy- This person has used a full length pic. or one that is so far away that you can’t tell what or who they are.  This person should invest in a zoom and take some tips from “All Up In Your Face.“
17. The Kid- This person allows their children the opportunity to be front and center in the profile pic.  Sometimes the twitterer themselves are in the pic. with their kid(s) and other times it’s the kid(s) are all by themselves.
18. Weirdo- Some Twitter profile pics. can only be summed up by calling them weird.  Everyone has some  weirdos on their list, just scroll through your followers and you will find a weirdo.  If you don’t find a weirdo by scrolling through your lit, take a look at your personal profile pic.  You may just be that weirdo.
19. The Half-Face- This person is a kissing cousin to “All Up In your Face” but they are so cool that they will only show you half of their face.
20. I’m Not On That List- The person that says “This list is funny, but I’m nowhere on the list.”  This ones for you!
