LOL, awesome article. I think people of most types can be most of those though. I do a little each from time to time, but I'm never consistently any of them.
There's a category I'd like to add... I don't feel like coming up with a clever name, but it's the people who are obsessed with politics, right or left. It seems like almost everything they post is about politics. And it's often bitter, pushy, or anger in tone. It's like their lives are a battle.
I'm the lurker on Facebook. I don't use Facebook that much, I prefer Twitter.
Facestalk sucks. I only log in there to see what spam (gifts, applications etc.) my sister has sent me. I practically never post anything at all, unless it's a reply to someone writing on my wall (which is extremely rare). Maybe I'm slightly lurker. It was like months when my only friends there were my sister and my two cousins.
I've just recently got into the whole update thing...I never saw it as serving a realistic purpose but with contacts all over, it's very useful and not as intimate as texting when you don't really want to talk to the person via phone.
I was sometimes an obscurist too (I'm off fb now--got boring and I was spending too much time getting sucked into lame conversations). that was fun.
Seriously though, the ESFjs and their need to talk about everything that's going on... sheesh. I even had to tell my husband not to talk about me on facebook.

Jesus, I've had a friend doing this to me on Facebook. The funny thing is that we're friends since 15 years and we have never quarreled, but then he gets angry because I don't reply to an IM on Facebook! (which I actually hadn't even seen, since I closed the without looking). That was really annoying.
