In the world of social-networking

11 01 2010

Finally, once again I am back on my blog…

And this being my first post of this decade…. better late than never… I wish everyone

A Very Happy New Year 2010!


“Social-Networking” thats the thing which each one is busy doing online these days. For me and many of my friends I guess it started from “orkut” and it has turned to “facebook” and “twitter” now.

I  started with orkut initially and it was just somewhere by the end of 2008 that I tried facebook and just last year I joined in to twitter! :)

I remember that it was a time when orkut was new and was the subject of many conversations in my 12th standard days! Afterwards it was like, “WTF? you are not on orkut?? How come?” :P Later this trend faded down and it was the time for facebook to jump in… :D

Orkut started becoming a bore with some lack of interactivity when compared to facebook! The first reaction of everyone who joined facebook was “WTF is going on??? :( After getting used to the rather plain nature of orkut, it was really difficult to understand what the hell facebook was as it consisted of just updates and more updates from everybody else.  And once this facebook-bug started catching up, all the orkut people started joining this bandwagon! :) And in some more time it was “Facebook FTW! Orkut WTF!” :P

The latest one to join in this list is twitter. I started tweeting last year with my friend @saurabh_s_ who joined at the same time too. At first it was pretty boring as it had nothing but status updates which was much more fun on facebook that time considering the fact that I have about 300 friends over there and about half of them are surely active users. :)

But as time passed, I got used to this twitter-thingy! Started tweeting random stuff, started following random people who followed me back and we started with interaction. Now I am realising that this too is so much fun. Facebook has been for me as the place where I can meet all the friends which I already have but it is twitter where I am making new friends :) Twitter is much better as you have the option to follow almost anyone and check out their updates. It is surely the fastest source of information transfer these days… Its the daily Breaking News source for me now. “Its not a news if its not on twitter” :D

One of the things I would surely remember about twitter would the #RangChaddiDa movement which was started a day before and was the most interesting thing on twitter for me till now. I would rather not elaborate on it as it has been written about here, here and here already! :)

So for me, the twitter thing is getting more and more interesting these days and for all those who still think that twitter is only status updates and nothing else…. I would say that it would take time to get used to twitter but it is surely worth it once you get used to it!! \m/ :D \m/

Thats it for now…

Find me on facebook and twitter

PS: I dont check orkut nowadays…so plz dont care to find me over there! :P
