Nadia and I spend tons of time on social networking sites. We’re on or have been on facebook, linkedin, twitter, youtube, plurk, myspace, friendster, adgabber, adrants, britekite, digg, reddit, fark, slashdot… After having spent some time on all of these sites, we’ve made some general observations – they remind us of being in high school. Each site is like one of the cliques present in high schools everywhere. So for a bit of fun and slacking off while at work, we went through and tried to figure out the personality of each of the major networks.

Let us know if you think we’ve mis-categorized any or if we’ve left your favorite off the list.

Digg: The mass of nameless faces in high school that never quite managed to make it into any particular group.

Reddit: The Audio Visual Club

Facebook: The Jocks and Prom Queens

MySpace: The Stoners and Emo Kids

Twitter: The Gossip Girls and Social Butterflies

StumbleUpon: The Student Council

Slashdot: Band Camp

4Chan: The High School Drop Outs

YouTube: The Drama Club

**Update: I’ve been informed that I’ve left some people out. Here you go

Holypal: The Abstinence Club

Nexopia: Track and Field Team

When I’m at work I like to take the occasional break and read what’s going on in the world or just plain find something interesting to read. One of the places I tend to go to do this, is Digg. I love Digg. Something that I’ve noticed over the last couple of years is that there are some headlines that rock…and I can’t help but to click on the story to see what it’s all about. So I’ve put together some of the more interesting ones that I’ve come across recently. Click on the pictures if you want to go read the Digg article…or better yet, some of the comments. Enjoy.

With the amount of stories on Digg, I’m sure that I’ve missed some great ones. Leave a comment with a link to your favorite Digg headline.
