Life in the times of FB

i am from a generation of youngistan who grew up (or atleast thght we did) with a heady dose of Orkut !!! thats right... u remember that right !!? orkut... those were the easy days... just befriend people u know... send them 'scraps' !!

Then something weird happened... orkut began being overtaken by voyeurs ... it became a haven for sick basterds to harass the living scrapbooks out of innocent orkuters !! ( atleast thats how i think it went ). So people who were really interested in the social networking side of the whole thing shifted base... they (we) migrated to FB !!

Suddenly the once dull and overcrowded UE of FB didnt matter anymore... it became simple sleek and effective !! applications were interesting ... comments and 'likes' even better !! it was a wonderful world again !!

Nowadays FB is everywhere ... everybody who is anybody has a FB profile. Even me :P

Suddenly social farming is the 'in' thing to do !!! the passion with which ppl play the mafia wars wud put Columbians to shame !! people are taking quizzes as if their social life depends on it !! joining 'important causes' to show their social awareness.. becoming fans of things that are soo absurd .. it not even funny any more ...take this for example ...
really ?? is this something u think about more than once ? best of luck with the rest of your life buddy....
Frankly .. i think this is getting a bit much... some status updates are so lame ... its hilarious.. they are just there for getting comments and 'likes' from people... some of them are not even original and the plagiarism is bordering on childish... people are actually copying status updates from others and putting it up as their own !!

so basically i dont like wat is happening to FB ... somehow it is becoming a place for ppl to live their alternate lives.. lives in which they are cool.. they are 'hep' .. they are 'liked' ... but none of it is real...

newazz... this is how i feel.. may be i am wrong.. i shudnt judge how othr ppl live their social lives shud i ... probably.. but .. this is my blog and i write wat i want !! so stuff it..
