7 Annoying Blogging Personality Disorders

According to Pushing Social...
1. The Navel Gazer

Navel gazers are introspective folks who love to share their innermost thoughts and feelings. Their blogs read more like a diary than helpful information that people want to share.

2. The Spoilsport

Spoilsports just don’t know how to have a good time. They’re negative, cynical, and always have a contrarian view on issues.

3. The Ranter

While it may feel good to get something off your chest, it does nothing to help your readers. Instead, it’s all about showcasing how smart you are or why everyone else is doing it wrong.

4. The Copycat

Unfortunately, the world is full of me-too bloggers who simply regurgitate everything else that’s on the web. While sometimes it’s entirely unintentional, others are far more blatant about it.

5. The Plagiarist

6. The Sleazeball

Although they might not be as obvious, these people are the ones who will sell you get-rich-quick “systems” to help you get 100,000 hits on your website in one week or how to make $50,000 this month.

7. The Know-It-All

Sadly, this is one of the most common personality disorders in the blogosphere today. There’s a fine line between positioning yourself as an expert and coming off as better than everyone else.
I think I need to see a blogger psychologist.

This is so funny! I read something similar to this but compared bloggers to different types of mice in pop culture. I am so tired of my twitter feed being blown up with "RT to get 1000 new followers"
