Habitual MySpace, Facebook, Status Updates can Potray Your Personality
Laurel Papworth has said such explicit displays of self-promotion on websites like Facebook, MySpace or Orkut, carry hidden messages that may tell if a person is an extrovert or urging for sympathy.
"The extrovert, they are always going to be updating because the world revolves around them and one can assume that means the world needs to know how they are feeling from minute to minute," News.com.au quoted Papworth, as saying.
She added: "There's a lot of passive-aggressive behaviour in social networks and some interesting statuses - I'm mad at my boss, I'm mad at my mum, my teacher. We're expecting our good friends to come and commiserate and give presents on our page or leave comments on our page presumably in support of our emotional state."
The trend is catching up so much so, that one of the Facebook fan, Conor Woods, a 32-year-old executive revealed that at times he finds himself thinking short, descriptive phrases for his next status update.
While he confessed that his updates were mainly aimed at having fun, there are others who were trying to build up a better image online which they are not fortunate to have in reality.
"We live in a time where everybody is really conscious of branding and advertising and everyone is really media literate... (people) know how to shape their identity online to give the best image of themselves," said Woods.
