ladies and gentlemen,
before we go in-depth, lets talk about social networking....what is social networking? here is a video that will explain to you what is called 'social networking' in plain english...
so u can see how social networking has been a phenomenon throughout the world.its no longer just an interest of a certain group of people. nowadays, it has become somewhat a necessity. almost everyone i know joins at least one social network. sometimes i think in a way its like ur ID tag. in the era of stone age, people get to know each other through friends and family. so ur circle of friends are very limited. now, with social networks u can have friends from another continent, across the sea, to another part of earth! thats how powerful social network is!
it is so powerful that if u meet someone who doesnt have a friendster or a facebook at least, u go like,? huh?? are u kidding me??? why is that so?
for some people, they believe that these networks are so important, its almost like a resume...u will always think of something impressive to put in your resume right? so they pimp their page, upload the best pictures in their photos gallery (when i say best, i mean photo shop edited ya!!), invite friends, add more and more friends etc, etc......and the result?? there u have a pimped page with so many happening people (which half of them uve never even met!)
even my friends here, every time they take pictures, they'll go like, "posing cantik-cantik! nie nak masuk dalam friendster..." and if the picture happens to be real nice, they go, "eh...cantiknya muka aku kat sini! nak! nak!" then at the other end you'll hear, "ala, nampak banyak jerawat!nanti malam nak edit gambar!" u think thats bad? wait till u hear noises from the back of the crowd, "muka aku tak cantik kat gambar nie! nak tangkap lagi sekali!!!" uh-oh! :(
one thing not mentioned in the video is that, social networks are indeed a very good source for gossip mongers...everybody knows about everybodys businesses. who is going out with who, who breaks up with who, who is marrying who, who is fighting with who.....to cut long story short, metaphorically its like surfing the net for materials to put into ur project, in this case its more like materials for the next gossip session.
and im telling u, it amazes me how much time they spend on these networks. like me for example, many asked me; what do i do when i go online? well, i love reading blogs, check out latest vids on you tube, listen to music and maybe download some tracks, catch up on the latest news around the globe, maybe even take quizzes. so u can see that i have many windows on my screen at one time. but some of my friends, they dont do anything else other than viewing peoples page on friendster or facebook. there is only one window open! even if they have a few windows open at the same time, its from the same network only on different people! kay-poh-cee i tell u!
as for me, im looking at social networks as something that i should just have. is it important? to me personally, no. but why do i have it? okay, this may sound very groupie but what the heck! i have it coz everyone else has it! there u go....
i have a friendster and a facebook. of coz there are many, many others like my space, hi5 and god-knows-what! ive gotten many invitations to join these networks but i decline most of it. u see, i dont really go out of my way to talk to other people unless i have to. im not being arrogant or ignorant, its just not my nature to be overly a people person unless i consider them friends or im in a situation that calls for desperate measure. even with people i consider friends, i dont talk to them often. does it mean i dont think they are significant? of coz not! not talking doesnt mean not caring. i care for them. its just that im occupied with other things in life that maybe i cant send them testimonials all the time. but the bottom line is, I CARE...
since ive got many complaints from my friends who kutuk my facebook and friendster (so kesian, they actually sent an email, calling me back to friendster) i decided to spend almost the whole day facebooking (yes, it has become a verb now!)
gosh, i dont know how they do it! its so tiring! and u know one thing about facebook, so many notifications! i almost fell off my chair when i saw 368 notifications!!!!! in the end, after hours and hours of hard work i still have 68 notifications left. i just gave up and logged out. i guess it'll take sometime for me to log in to facebook again...
so if people spend hours facebooking, understandable la....but hours on friendster?!?! nak buat apa???!!!! still tak faham!
