Social networking sites...

It was in the year 2006, I was amazed to know that I could virtually get connected to my friends through a site which was the hype of the country at that time. When you hear something of that then Facebook might have come to your mind. But it was Orkut. Now you must b saying “ O Yes”. Initially I was amazed by such an astounding site where we can know what our friends are upto , scrapping each other, chit chats, discuss on forums, queries solving and being solved etc. For the first few months I was really addicted towards it coz I had got a reason to use internet other than opening inbox and compose. And then gradually I started to get bored and so my scraps per day also got reduced with it. I was fascinated about orkut coz it got me  in touch with long lost friends n bored bcoz later on I didn’t find anything unusual n new about it. Eventually, this Orkut mania got over n then life on facebook started n am sure it has happened with almost everybody here in India. With facebook the initial reaction was just the reverse of what happened with orkut. I had signed an account in FB due to my Belgium friends who didn’t use orkut. But later on I found FB interesting as it’s one step ahead of orkut. Here u can comment, pull each other legs, play games, check the status etc. It has also act as a replacement for photo albums. Before ppl used to take snaps so tht the moment can b treasured n now with tht the reason has changed to getting them orkutted or facebooked. These sites also act as a stress buster for me as whn am pissed off or tired , I give a glance to these sites n feel relaxed.

Don’t know for how long they gonna last n wht wud be the next??? At the end of the day all that matters is getting connected to my friends, be it Orkut or Facebook.
