people.
EDSA DOS
Also known as 2001 EDSA Revolution that
happened from Jan. 17 to 21, 2001. It was
fuelled after the prosecutors of then Pres.
Estrada walked out of impeachment trials. As
a result, the crowd in EDSA grew over a
course of a few days through text brigades.
MILLION PEOPLE MARCH
This is a series of protest that took place in
Luneta Park from Aug. 22 to 26, 2013. It’s
goal is to condemn the misuse of the Priority
Development Assistance Fund(PDAF). The
total attendees was around 400,000. The
organizers and promoters of the event used
Facebook and Change.org as their medium.
YOLANDA PEOPLE FINDER- The
devastating typhoon gave birth to the people
finder database powered by Google. It was a
vital tool for people across the globe to track
the situation of their relatives. This proved
successful and is now adapted by more
organizations to help track people during
calamities.

As a netizen, how do you react on posts
that you encounter in your news feed?
In your Facebook pages, if you receive a
feedback (comment, suggestions or
reactions) be it positive or negative how
would you respond?
As you manage your page, you will
encounter different behaviours of
people in Social Media. According to
Rebecca Dye, a social media manager
at First Direct, there are 12 Different
Behaviours in Social Media
12 Different Behaviours in Social Media
The Ultras- check feeds dozens of times a day.
Happily, admit their obsession. (14% of Facebook
users spend at least 2 hours a day on the network.
The Deniers- social media do not control their lives,
but gets anxious when unable to access networks.
(20% of Facebook users would feel anxious or
isolated if they had to deactivate their accounts.)
12 Different Behaviours in Social Media
The Virgins- taking first tentative steps in social media
(19% of British people don’t use any social media.)
The Peacocks- popularity contest, high numbers of
followers, fans, likes and retweets. (1 out of 10 Twitter
users want more followers than friends.)
The Lurkers- hiding in the shadows of cyberspace.
Watches what other are saying, but rarely (if ever)
participate themselves. (45% of Facebook users described
themselves as “observers”).
12 Different Behaviours in Social Media
The Ranters- mock and mid in face-to-face
conversations. Highly opinionated online
The Changelings- adopt completely new personality
online so no one knows their real identities.
The Ghosts- create anonymous profiles, for fear of
giving out personal information to strangers.
The Informers- seek admiration by being the first to
share the latest trends with audiences.
12 Different Behaviours in Social Media
The Approval Seekers- constantly check feeds
and timelines after posting. Worry until people
respond.
The Quizzers- asking questions allow them to
start conversations.
The Dippers- access their pages infrequently,
often going days, or even weeks without posting.
ACTIVITY
Form a group with 5 members each.
Each group will create a short story
depicting the different behaviours of netizen
in social media.
The story must be able to give a moral
lesson to the reader.
(strictly no copying from the Internet!)
“Most people using social media
will display a combination of
those personality types and they
may even behave differently on
Facebook than how they behave in
social media.”
ACTIVITY:
Create a Facebook page for your Social
Campaign out of the Concept Paper.
You can also add images or infographics to
your page. Share your page to your friends
for them to like it and send your Facebook
Page’s link to your teacher for grading
purposes.
