social network web 2.0

its been a long time since ive written about anything except life..feels nice..i mean it feels nice typing when you cut your nails clean..hehehe..anyways.. this isnt about that..although im going to add that to my list too.. this is about social networking..orkut..my entry to this new and fascinating world online.. more of a you can run but you cannot hide situation..how much you deny not being is this world..you always know that if you are not in..you are not IN..like i said orkut.com was my entry to the social networking world..it happened sometime in 2005 that i found about a website that has a database with all my friends listed..well actually, me and my friend arpit..aka appi..used to think about something like that when we were in school..apparently..we wanted to start something like that..and the name was to be www.kaunhaibay.com .. kheekheekheekhee..that was out IN phrase then..anyways..now i was in college and thanks to gmail i didnt have to "make" a profile on orkut to login and know about people i havent met in ages..it was fantastic.. meeting my school friends..knowing where they are now..getting in touch with them..wow.. like i said..it was a new world..and now..well its saturating..filling up with people who "wants to do frandshift with you"..and who "likes your picture"..and of course the inevitable.. porn..nevertheless, i wont shoot down the concept that google came up with.. it was and is great..but now..it has added a new dimension to life.. especially mine..orkut i believe is more of a hangout..and something not to be taken seriously..but junta re junta..for certain people its their life..one wrong comment on their pic..and you are on the "ignore list".. ha ha... hilarious..i had made a sarcastic(obviously) comment on my friend;s pic..and boy o boy.. did she take it in the wrong way..phew..total escape macha !!! ... anyways..i dont care..they do their stuff.. i do mine.. i like it when friends post new pics online..and tell you that they are married now..and are having kids..its like a summary of their life there..now "single"..now "committed".. direct "divorced" kheekheekheekhee..and finally "married".. its fun..shifting on to a new network.. facebook..which is popular down south india.. well mainly in mumbai..people swear by it..and the information there..."what...she just changed her status to 'single'" damn it..she is?? " ...and then all those comments flowing in..and uff..the new quizzes..i should confess.. i have taken a couple of them myself..and they are fun..actually timepas.. i dont know much about facebook because i havent played around it.. i know orkut..and i think it is way simpler than facebook..then there is twitter...wooohooo..actually.. negative woohoo...its "mind blasting".. i dont understand the concept behind twitter..i signed up for it as i was doing a case study on "twitter firm" which i think is a decent marketing tool.. but the regular twitter...common guys..whos interested in "status updates".. mr ashton kutcher just became the user on twitter with the maximum followers..right..so you think he is sitting on the other side and updating his twitter page..yea..he has nothing else to do..actually i dont know..he's a producer..what do producers do ?.. not twitter..im sure about that.. anyways.. social networks are definitely web 2.0.. like i said.. my case study on them made me realize that its a booming marketing media stream..and has tonnes of potential...obviously with little or not investment..now thats pretty cool.. twitter firm like i said.. makes you aware about the company you have you eyes on..about how and when things are going to happen there..food for the curious mind i think..and thats how it should be.. not "deep is driving now"..actually that reminds me.. i havent checked my twitter page since ages.. for me..blog does it..i can live with it..write on it..and be happy with what i have done.. i know people who are still not on orkut or facebook..but have this curiosity in them.."whats inside? " ..and then they use my login to access the world..get a life people..use you gmail username and password..shhhh.. nobody's going to know..shhhh...well..like i said.. i am happy with orkut..facebook..more for my firangi friends..but what the hell..im not loosing anything...jai shri ram

good research buddy!!!

I personally connected with a lot of observations.

The picture really drove the pt home.

I think junta needs to connect on the real world in addition to the virtual community.

waise why do I feel like I'm the only one commenting on your blog.
