Meformers versus Informers

1 replies
I read an article today which contained an excellent term I'd never heard of. In a nutshell the article said that there are two types of social media posters:

Merformers:
Those who post information only relating to themselves.

Informers:
Those who mostly share information for others.

I thought that was such a great term and highly relevant as looking around the profiles (across all platforms) of people I know everyone seems to identify with one of those categories.

As a personal poster, I am definitely a 'meformer' and don't post much unless something amazing is happening to me which I can share with people.

What is interesting though is that as far as business pages go (I'm pretty sure the data was based on Twitter users); Informers had more than twice as many followers as meformers.

What a great incentive to start sharing more information about other people!

Give the term 'merformer' a search in Google, it's worth a read and definitely offers a valuable insight into the minds of those elusive social media followers whose attention we're all trying to capture!
