Being an introvert or an extrovert obviously affects the outcome of your social life. But I was just curious of the ramifications it may have on your social networking behavior online. Based on the description above if you're an introvert, what would your personal social digital footprint look like? Would it be made up of very small select private groups? Would you be an observer and not an active blogger? Or would you be extremely active with conversations? With such a controlled environment, and with technology that allows you to filter exactly what you want, is social media the ultimate communication platform for people that are more introverted? They can be connected with their own world online and be by themselves at the same time.
As an extrovert, do you belong to multiple groups on Facebook? Multiple social networks? Are you great at starting strings of conversations on Twitter? Do you enjoy having over 300,000 followers? Yet you may still feel isolated and alone and in need of being around people physically. Not virtually and electronically through tiny chat boxes. Do you frequently post small talk on all your friend's walls?
Companies who are now becoming more involved with social networks are finding that it requires a specific amount of resources, and skill sets to facilitate and maintain. That includes someone with the ability to engage and bait the right groups into conversations that lead to their agenda, as well as the ability to listen and monitor. Are introverts more naturally wired for online social behaviors? What about yourself. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? What does your personal social footprint look like?
