a funny video about the greek users of Twitter

1. THE GREEK TWITTER
TRIBES
An alternative presentation

2. Introduction
Have you ever wondered how
many are the Greek Twitter users?
Do they use the application for
fun or business?
What are their interests and
education level?

3. You ask a lot!
Greek tweeters are
estimated to be
around 30.000 but
their exact number
cannot be specified.

4. 30.000 people is a small number
though. Let’s think of Greek
Twitter as a village. Like Smurfs’
village or Gauls’.
A small community consisted of
tribes, each with special
characteristics.

8. 2.The Journalists/Reporters
If you connect to Greek Twitter you will
instantly believe that all the reporters and
journalists of local Twitterland have an
account.
Due to the latest unfortunate incidents in
Greece many people with i-phones who
participate in protests, upload pictures on
twitter considering themselves front line
reporters.

9. 3.The Fashion Bloggers.
• 90% of the time they are women obsessed
with fashion trends. The purchase of a
Chanel bag is for them the Holy Grail.
• They have their own blog where they write
about haute couture and fashion events.
• Most of them are incapable of understanding
that in Greece of 2012 no one really cares
about fashion anymore.

10. 4.The Entertainers/Clowns
• They criticize everyone and everything but in a
funny way.
• Their tweets become favorited and retweeted by
many people.
• They do have a reputation in Greek Twitter
though sometimes they can’t distinguish the
difference between funny and ridiculous and they
don’t know where to stop.

11. 5.The Facebook Guys

12. 6.The Wannabe Writers
They “Wordpress” about love. They “Tumblr”
about loneliness. They use Twitter as a mean
to promote their writing.
One of their biggest hopes is that one day they
will manage to get their super duper wow
novel published.
They usually tweet at night and their audiences
are people recently separated.

13. 7.The Social Media Freaks
• They adore social media. They are tech savvies
always informed about the latest news on pc
software and mobile applications.
• They have accounts in every-and when I say every I
mean it-social network.
• When they don’t tweet about the new release date of
i-pad 3 they either play WoW or mess around in
Instagram.
• They are geeks but at least they have something
useful to share.

14. 8.The Intellectuals

15. 9.The Businessmen-Bots
This category can be really annoying. Some Greek people try to
promote their business through a merciless tweet spam of their
products.
They rarely chat or exchange any opinions on the field of their
business activities.
In some cases they act like robots and their only interaction is
to welcome the people they follow when they see them online.

16. 10.The Architects
It may sound
weird but Greek
Twitterland is full
of Architects and
Civil Engineers.

17. Final Tweets, soz thoughts I meant
• By the time I finished this presentation I
had already thought 10 more categories of
Greek Tweeters that I could add.
• Don’t worry, I won’t do it now.
• I tried to present everything with a dose of
humor. I hope you enjoyed it.
• I would gladly accept comments on
www.mediasidestory.com.
• Keep tweeting.
