Let me first set the record straight: I don’t think that Twitter or Facebook is all that bad. Twitter and Facebook have their issues but both are powerful social media networks.

As all social media addicts know, there are groups of very annoying Facebook and Twitter users out there. They spam, promote, abuse and do all kinds of annoying things.

1,000 friends! 2,000 friends!! 3,000!!! You would think that the more Facebook friends you have the more friends you have in real life. Guess what? It’s probably the opposite.

Here’s another superb picture I found while browsing the web. It shows the “old social brandscape” on one side and the “new social brandscape” on the other side. I would recommend taking a few minutes to really look carefully at a larger version of this picture.

I found this picture designed by elontirien and think it’s brilliant. Not that I had ever thought about sites as people, but if I had, this is exactly what I would have imagined. My reasoning for each character is below.
