Happy Friday to all our readers!

As many businesses use Facebook as a great marketing tool by creating company pages, we found this infographic from Optify, which highlights the many types of Facebook users.

Namtek has a style all its own – the Informative Content Sharer (yes, we made that style up). Check out the infographic below and let us know which Facebook style you fall into!
