So it’s been quiet here because of all the work I’m doing for our new company, Appozite. I’ve been blogging on Appozitegeist pretty regularly. Well, that hard work pays off today. I’m very happy to announce that we’ve launched our first application - ZiteFight.

ZiteFight is a user-submitted photo competition. Users upload photos of someone or something with style, and visitors to ZiteFight vote on the photos they like the best. All that is to say that if you think you’ve got style, then you should tell the world. ZiteFight lets you do that.

So, go to www.zitefight.com and make your style voice heard!

This post about the types of people on Twitter just cracked me up.  It’s funny because it’s true, you know?

Anthony Stevens’ twelve types are:

1. GHOST: Starts Twittering, posts a handful of times, then disappears.
2. NERDCORE: Hopelessly geeky (and proud of it), writes tweets like this: “Linux.com states eDonkey as best P2P client on linux http://lin.cr/rf. But it was shutdown, wasn’t it? Can anyone confirm it?”
3. FLIRT: Writes a lot of tweets with the word “sexy” and “boobs” and “naked” (not necessarily in the same tweet).
4. WHORE: Shameless self-promoter of blog posts.  Has 10,000 followers.
5. WHORE IN TRAINING: Just like a WHORE, but sheepishly apologizes for it every now and then.  Wants 10,000 followers.
6. MR. GUILTY: Endless naughty-boy revelations about alcohol, gambling, or behaving badly.
7. ST. CRISPIN: Today is an opportunity! Carpe Diem! I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to be alive on THIS VERY DAY!
8. HIPSTER: Goes to all the cool social networking events and meets with Loic and Scoble and Guy every month.  Lets you know about it.
9. POLITICAL HARRIDAN: Sends 140-character rants about this or that politician or policy proposal.
10. INQUISTOR: 90% of their tweets are questions to their “audience”.
11. DILBERT: My office is dysfunctional and I sort of like it because I can tweet about it.
12. ZZZ: Sends tweets like “I’m on my 2nd cup of coffee” or “heading home”.

I follow some of each of these kinds of Twitterers (I bet we all do). I tried to put myself in one of these categories, but I can’t. I tend to tweet across many of these categories.

For example, I definitely pimp out my blog on Twitter. A few times a week I tweet with a link to a new blog post. But I almost always feel bad about it. So those times I’m a #5. And I often find myself posting about how I need coffee or dinner or something, certainly boring everyone who follows me. Then I’m a #12. Other times I’m a #8 or a #10.  Seeing these categories spelled out this way almost makes me want to be a bit more interesting with my tweets.

I bet most Twitterers find themselves in many of these categories throughout the day. Someone needs to do a full-on content analysis and see what categories we’re missing.

PS - Just in case you’ve missed it, I’m spending most of my time this summer blogging for Appozite over on Appozitegeist. Check it out if you haven’t yet!
