Facebook, for better or worse, is like being at a big party with all your friends, family, acquaintances and co-workers.

There are lots of fun, interesting people you're happy to talk to when they stroll up. Then there are the other people, the ones who make you cringe when you see them coming. This article is about those people.

Facebook can be a great tool, and an occasional annoyance.

What kind of Facebooker are you? Do you work on improving your style?

Good read! I may fall into "The Self-Promoter", but I'd rather that than any of the other 11

However, I am slowly transitioning more to Twitter for "status updates". I simply want to use FB as a means to message and share photos with those true friends.

I'll add one, and it's the reason I gave up on Facebook--the Flirt. Facebook became the hub for planning my 25th high school reunion, so everybody made the rounds of joining everybody else's Facebook page. In the process of that, stories about relationships from 30 years ago, comments on present physique and waistline, and the marital status of class members began flying around...for all connected to my page to see. Especially my college-aged daughter, not to mention my wife. So, thanks to the Flirt, I don't do Facebook anymore.
