Don Osmond: In my opinion…

I was talking to a friend of mine about Facebook earlier today; specifically, what people use Facebook for. This got me thinking… “What type of Facebooker am I?”

Here are a couple titles I came up with:

Casual Facebooker – Most people fall into this category. This user logs into Facebook about 2-3 times a day; checking e-mail, pokes, and staying in touch with close friends.

Poker – This user is similar to the Casual Facebooker, but also initiates every “poke!” …rarely sending messages.

Friend-cacher – This user has +1000 friends, ninety percent of which he/she has never physically met.

Ubersocialite – This user’s social calendar is packed with Facebook parties throughout the month.

Mobile-uploader – This user is never at a computer, and would rather use his/her smartphone to update the status or reply to messages… occasionally, posting pictures on the go.

T.M.I.er – This user has no filter, especially when writing on your wall and commenting.

Tweeter – This user linked his/her Twitter account to Facebook and updates regularly.

Off-liner – This user is online and responds quickly to e-mail, but never uses the IM function of Facebook.

Groupie – This user invites all friends to every group.

Tagger – This is the photo enthusiast who tags everyone and every thing.

Application Junkie – This user has every application available on his/her Facebook page; even invites you to add a few!

Whatever you are… there you are.

Why do people find it funny to be someone their not? I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it’s also deception.

So to dispel all falsities, this post is to let you know my father doesn’t have an interactive Facebook page. A few months ago, he asked me to set up an artist page on Facebook, but that’s it.

Here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Donny-Osmond/10025062311?ref=s

Anything else is a fake.

The Twitter account is also legit, but he rarely updates it. There’s been talk about interacting more on Twitter, but I would wait until he makes a formal announcement on Donny.com before we start speculating if, when, and how.

In addition to this post, I need to send a shout out to the individual who helped me get my father and Marie’s Twitter accounts. Unbeknownst to us someone squatted the names, making it impossible to actually obtain both @donnyosmond and @marieosmond. In short, they have their accounts now.

I don’t know who you are, but THANK YOU!!!

There are a lot of fakes; visit Donny.com for official statements.

Thanks for your loyalties!

…and please let your friends know.
