Found this viral video on the types of people on facebook. In my love and hate relationship with FB I thought I would post this to see what everyone thinks.
Brought to you by Altoids-the curiously strong candy brand (yar) and the ad agency The Evolution Bureau it is intended as a tongue-in-cheek “Curiously Strong Award” to “the stars of your social network.”
The song breaks down the plethora of FB friend types including “The Like-A-Lot,” who “likes everything you do” and “The Friend Tycoon,” who tries to friend everyone he meets. “Let me tell you about The Oversharer,” goes another lyric, “treating that rash with aloe vera. Did he get it from hiking in the High Sierras or from a girl named Sarah? Yo, we don’t care-ah.”
Yes, it’s funny stuff, but it’s also “a slick admission that while FB interactions can often be completely silly, for millions they’re also enjoyably meaningful diversions.”
Many writers have tried to catalog the various FB types before, but none have been quite as catchy as this.
One problem however: What does this have to do with mints? On FB, after all, no one can smell your breath.
