There was a time ( Aeons ago of course !) when Net savvy used just to be a flabby concept . Not having a Mail id or a virtual socializing account was not a surprisingly big deal .
Though personally I find it hard to believe those flaccid days without Internet. But then , that’s how it was.
Somehow things did change figuratively ! And virtual socializing turned out to be the gigantic crowd-puller.
Orkut – the social networking site and like almost all first-time-things , it took us by storm – we were college goers when I got my first account and would crave days for a scarp to drop by ! A peek-a-boo with Orkut was as much of a mandate as air or water. Friend Requests , Scrap boxes , Communities – Subsequently used to be the second life – Oops ! sorry the First Life in Office ( And yes Life-Saver as well !). Then somehow the Orkut craze started creeping away. Thanks to the other available socializing mediums spurting in by then.
Came Facebook - a brutal blow on Orkut – a fact proven by dozens when they shifted accounts and focus from Orkut to Facebook – I was no different either!
With it’s vast presence and succumbing popularity , Facebook , for sure, presents itself as the front runner stallion in the virtual rat race .( P.S. - I am deliberately keeping Twitter away here )
But speaking of trend changing every minute , the flavour changes with tastes and taste changes with time.
So what’s next is the big bad question ?
