Face/On

Finally… I mean after resisting month after month, I joined Facebook today. And this decision came after I came to read on Google News that the Whitehouse had joined facebook. Hell, if i could be part of Orkut, I could as well be part of Facebook. I mean, why not? The reasons I came up with for why not thus far are simple and pretty much the same that I think for Orkut too – waste of time. But hey, here’s a start – I get to promote this blog on one more portal. So, everyone who knows me and I haven’t added by default –search me out n add me.

do u really feel Orkut and Facebook are waste of time..... Bah not for me...I appreciate the guys who started these portals...A way to keep in touch long lost contacts....I have kindergarten friends in my list ...If not orkut would never had a chance to meet them again .....

And you wont believe one of my friends got her classmate through orkut are in love and are about to get married soon........This might be a past time for lots of them..And I do understand that the site has its cons too..Bah those sites have done wonders....

Moonlight -> Yes yes.. I agree that it's fabulous to get back in touch. But I donno about you... even after getting back in touch with everyone, I am still in touch only with those people with whom I already was in touch with, except the occasional scrap with the others and the option of getting back in touch with them. And yes, I have friends who met on Orkut n got married too (it's close to my heart also). But at the end of the day, once you've re-established your contacts, and set the boat sailing, you just do timepass at looking at other's photos n what not... You know what I mean... it's not ideal, but for sure it helps in whiling away the time when we have excess of it or as a distraction from the mundane existance.
No offense intended to Orkut or Facebook.. both are great get-back-in-touch tools.

I agree with everything y'all said although I prefer Facebook over Orkut. Will look you up and welcome to Facebook!

hehehee, did just that a couple of months back myself, joined fb in addition to good old orkut. However, with time it does get kinda redundant to have your accounts in two similar networking sites, unless of course it helps promote ones blog or for professional endeavors. As far as friends are concerned i mostly have the same ones on both sites, lolz! Welcome to fb all the same will look you up there :)
