Top Ten ways to spot an internet noob!
When I started this list I wasn’t sure I could come up with a full top ten list. Five sure. Seven maybe. Ten? I thought it would be hard. Nope! In fact there was a few I had to remove from the list to make room for better ones I thought of.
Now if this is you, do not be offended. Ask me how to be a better net citizen. Or “netizen” as some might say. All of us were noobs once. Of course this doesn’t mean were are not rolling our eyes at you behind our monitor screen, laughing at your mistakes, or sending friends links to your material for reasons you never intended. Of course we will! We just won’t tell you that part. Reality sucks like that.
1. They still use MySpace as their main social network
2. They use a ton of the Facebook “aps”
3. They have a profile that uses dark backgrounds with dark text so you can’t read anything
4. Overuse of animated gifs
5. They still use Internet Explorer
6. If they EVER use all caps for more than one or maybe two words at a time.
7. They still try to “Rick Roll” people and think it’s funny.
8. On sites like Twitter or Plurk they reply with a full blog length response instead of keeping to the 140 character limit.
9. They do video blogs about what they had for breakfast and how their day went.
10. They are still on dial up.
