Some characteristics of Triond Writers that I, as a newbie, have been noticing these last few weeks.
Newbie – innocent in most stuffs about Triond; comments on other articles as “this is super awesome ma’am” or “this is the most amazing thing sir”; can’t decide on a permanent penname and profile picture; always spends time going back and forth between the Dashboard and Earnings tab.
Veteran – publishes few but very top-ranking articles; always comments on posts professionally (and you can also feel the exotix intonation); rarely reads the articles of others.
All-Ever Popular – generally hates newbies; their articles dominate the hot-stuff list; pen names all over Triond.
Wise Ass – has article titles like “Get $100 easily” or something like that; loves making fake comments and puts links to his article even it has no connection whatsoever.
Nice – the gentlest creatures on the comment box; all of his comments are too nice, you will wonder if he really understood that your article was about the massacre of your toenail.
For Mayor – has 100x more friends than articles published; likes adding people on a first-seen instance; treats Triond as a social networking site; spends most of the time reading and sending messages.
Blogger – all articles are about himself and his ever adventurous life; gets two to three page views because of this.
The Rat – exclusively views Triond as a money-making site –not about writing and sharing your ideas with the world; publishes different qualities of articles because of this; votes and comments on his own articles.
Ghost – rarely publishes an article; rarely seen in Triond; heck, even in surfing the net.
Normal – nothing interesting to tell about him; publishes average numbers of articles; comments on an average basis; gets average pageviews per day…
Me, I think I’m 50% Newbie and partly the Rat and Normal. How about you?
Liked the article? You can also read other works of Literati.

I am not even sure I fit into any of these categories. The ghost is interesting though. There are a few on my page that never write. And then there are some that have like 10,000 friends and never comment. great ideas.

Hehehe! I’m a ghost at the moment.
You must be well aware by now that most people at triond are “rats running for mayor”
