Facebook

innumerous blogs about the latest and greatest I am sure. nothing else really grabs anyones attention for this long. u love to hate it and yet you are glued to it.. all thru the day checking updates from friends, news, views, things happening around the world..
how did I know about the AMRI hospital mishap in india - thru an update from my friend... and it goes on and on
wow!!!
a portal to world affair
the newz at your service
any catastrophe and political issue, anything on this globe or outside finds focus here
what a media!!! what way to communicate!!
people have almost forgotten the newspaper
some still use it to satisfy part of that unfulfilled intellectual thirst to read an actual print and feel it while reading, news,views and gossip..
today I read about Kony 2012 and shared a link with all my friends, so even if someone didnt know will know now about this heinous criminal in Africa.
I got sick - posted an update so then friends called to find out how I was doing..great way to convey a message when living here in the US you even might not know your own neighbor, but he happens to be your FB friend(since he is a common friend of your friend)..
great!!
sending bday messages to people you havent even seen for ages..
reconnecting with high school and old friends and in keeping with the famous saying - "Make new friends, but cherish the old ones"..
sharing pictures, videos of every miniscule event in anyones life..
yeah!!!
I am smitten by it .. yet after spending sometime , I feel guilty that I wasted my time on facebook.
kids asking for permission to create their facebook accounts as their bday gifts.. how far can it go?
this has been here and will probably stay .. google+ didnt fly that high.. buzz - I wonder how many seriously use it.. orkut is history.. FB's in for a long haul!! there I said it!!! and now the wheel will turn and something new will replace the FACE of facebook.. or will it!!!
