SOCIAL
NETWORKING SITES
There are many internet users, who are not aware of social networking web sites like Face book.
Times of India dated Sep 18, 09 narrates in a humorous way, the predicament of such a person, having received an invitation for becoming a friend on Face book. He imagines Face book to be a book containing faces. But why an unknown person should want his photo. Later when he finds that it is a social net working site (which means knowing many persons, not known earlier), he asks himself as to what exactly they want to know about each other. Probably they want to tell what they are doing every day. While ascertaining the things, he finds most of the things done every day to be mundane, routine type, appearing to be uninteresting to any body and boring even to ourselves. Even others may not be doing extraordinary things daily. To him it appeared to be something like standing and aimlessly walking around street corners, though not physically, but
electronically. In a way, it appeared to be safer than the street corner. But the best part is that it continues even beyond life, by someone continuing to send messages even after death, that too till e-ternity.
