Hey There (Seriously is there anyone out there?)
Gone are the days where fans waited for days together for famous filmstars to quote in the newspaper or on the news about whats going on in their personal lives..Now we have twitter. I just logged on (yes i do have an existing id for the last year i think now) and well i was lost..When twitter initially became a craze because all the famour personalities were putting up details about what they thought,what they are doing,who are they meeting and all the gossip that circulated the industry had to do with each persons 'tweet' i thought 'Hey,why dont i also join the bandwagon and see whats up with these people'...BAD IDEA...nor do i understand whats twitter all about, i also dont get what these actors are tryin to say. Either they are promoting their upcoming movies or making absurd comments which has nothing to do with anything..dont believe me..I just read a tweet that said 'Do insects feel hot or cold?'..I mean what the hell..Its called google...USE IT if u have such wierd questions. The only tweets worth reading were those of two of the famous indian journalists.
Now its not that I am completely against twitter..I mean yea it bridges the gap between the classes and the masses..let people realise that they are not inferior to famous personalities..but cmon you have to accept it..Every actor know that he has 100 odd people following his every tweet..do you really think everythin he says is the truth and not just another attempt to make more people like him or be in the news?..Hmm now thats a tweet i should put up ;)..
Now way before the lil birdy came and tweeted away there were other social networking sites such as myspace, orkut and the all time favourite FACEBOOK :)
Confession: Im a Facebook addict <3...Now dont go thinkin i was bashing twitter only cause of this..I do accept fb has its lunacies as well...
1.Status's about mundane things: "Ted is eating a burger"...really and you decided it was so important that your 350 friends knew about it? I am a healthy status updater...everyday or sometimes every second day i do have a new status...but mainly at the end of the day somehow about how my day was..No explicit details..just one line with sumthing sweet,mysterious and witty..If i wanna say more..I have a phone..ill pick it up..call a friend and TALK
2.Pictures of feet: Ok i wont only rule out feet..people put up one picture and then edit in 10 different ways and put up those pictures too..There was this fad where everyone put up these cartoon pics with captions that circulated and tagged every friend for the caption that suited them. Now the pictures were hillarious and getting tagged did bring a smile..but the notifications that followed were crazy which brings me to number 3
3.Notifications:You comment on a picture,status,wall post..bloody hell even if you just like something..be sure to get 56 notifications in half an hour..because you get notified for every thing that happens on that post after youve been there..and soooo many people want to start a conversation on a picture for some reason..I repeat..PICK UP THE PHONE.
4.News feed: I just realised i was ranting so i thought ill just put these last few together under this one...My news feed is forever full with peoples quiz results..cmon im sure your that smart to know that none of those results are real and even if you took the quiz for fun why do you have to post the result for the world to see..then you have games like farmville,happy pets and some mafia thingy..everyone is either selling melons,buying a cat or killing a man..and how is this helping you in life exactly?????..
Hehe finally..All you facebook couples..you can either be single or in a relationship..what in the world does 'its complicated' mean? Plus if you are in a relationship the whole world does not want to see your making out pictures...
But at the end of the day I love facebook and i will be going there after posting this..exactly the same way we hate the calories chocolate gives us but who can say no to a choco bar :)
