if you guys have been on orkut or facebook or on any of those hundreds of social networking sites for as long as i have been,then losing interest in these sites is a common phenomenon.
In 2006 i received my invitation to join orkut! after realising that half my school was there i opened my account!! orkut retained my interest until i was in school! thereafter, orkut has been nothing but boring!
yesterday i was listening to the radio and i was very impressed by one of the things that i heard !!
" we guys suffer from a disease and that is the curiosity to know what is happening in one's life!! we guys are so keen on satisfying our gossiping needs that we shamelessly open someone's scrapbook and start going through his scraps! who is he dating? is he still in love with his ex? has he started dating again!! two of my classmates are talking..what are they chatting about?"
i couldnt agree more!! i do it and i am sure everybody does!! here is an arguement that most people can think of .! A social nteworking site is an open forum!! we have every right to see what we want if we can!!
but guys dont you think it reflects our insecurities !!? i think it sure does!!
at times i feel irritated at the status messages i see! everybody comes up with a new philosophy of living life!! i seriously feel status messages would have more credilbility if people write truly what they feel and not just copying quotable quotes from another website!!
i do not like to talk to some people who are in my list!! many a times i have thought of deleting my account!! but i cant do it! out of 133 friends i have , there are certain people i do not want to lose touch with!!these sites may have their flaws!! but they are a great way of being in the 'social network'
