I was reading this newspaper article in the HT today about Facebook being the new gossip manager for people...
With all the 3rd party applications that are available on Facebook one can actually gossip without actually talking about it...FB (Facebook= FB) itself highlights whatever is going on in the other person's life...who all he/she added..what is his/her relationship status etc...who all added new pics et al...
There were some comments by FB users as well..which were like..." i can use this to spy on my ex bf"...."i take my camera at all my parties and i am so gonna put up the pics on FB"...and they went on and on.....
Well i am myself a user of FB and Orkut...and i too use them for my networking...more often than not for staying in touch with friends from my school...college...previous work place...MBA school..current work place...and some blogger friends...but then do i use any of these as gossip monger?? I prefer to use orkut over FB because it is so much easier to scrap and just say what you want to say....FB is just so tiresome..so many applications...install this..install that..and the browser goes for a toss....
Like all new tools..FB too has its honeymoon period going on..like orkut did an year back or so...and soon the craze would fade away..and a new social networking tool would emerge...the evolution continues..Yahoo messenger > Msn Messenger > Orkut > Facebook > .......
cheers!!...
