With Twitter's user base eclipsing 550 million, the question is: who are the right people to follow to make your stream powerful and userful? This infographic breaks down the Twitter users into 7 main archetypes. The desire is to help provide a quick read on an account in order better to identify to what extent the account may be of interest to follow. The archetypes also include those accounts that might be better to avoid following.

Herewith the 7 archetypes:

1. The Social Star
2. The Butterfly
3. The Distant Star
4. The Private Eye
5. The Listener
6. The Cycler
7. The Egghead

These archetypes only cover the individual accounts, rather than corporate accounts. Also excluded are troll, spam and porn profiles.

The original article, describing in more depth each archetype, was published on The Myndset (and also republished on Social Media Today).
