FB or Facebook is a hugely popular social networking website with a layout and functionality that is quite user-friendly. To a normal user, it comes across as a platform for general friendly interactions and keeping in touch with distant relatives and friends. But as there are exceptions attached to almost everything, there is a group of people who are deadly against it and think of it as some evil on earth.
Quite cynically, these are the same people who maintain their account lying low and enjoy the interactions with their own state of mind. They would occasionally post pictures of their family and friends and throw in some things here and there just to make their presence felt. I wonder sometimes the kind and level of frustrations they are carrying within themselves. Would such breed ever delete their accounts and vanish from the scene where Angelina Jolie and Jonny Depp are somewhere being discussed in good humor.
The answer is plain NO! (I find it quite interesting when people use the font size and font shape to emphasize importance, strength and so on. Actually, that’s the way it is, and I also comply to that many a times. Excuse the hormones please! )
This issue has been cropping in my mind ever since I got myself registered to websites like facebook, orkut, twitter, and linkedin. There is so much scope of putting up all information about yourself, right from educational qualifications to which movies and songs you like, and that is mind boggling. Not to forget the images and videos which can elaborately depict your vacations, day to day activities and likes and dislikes. Facebook also has an option to add links from different websites which can be viewed by friends and acquaintances alike. To top it all, there is an option of updating your status message time and again which is so very fashionable as loads of discussions happen on topics such as “I am getting late for office”.
