Let's Face This- Facebook!

By -
We all are celebrities and the credit goes to Social Networking Websites. We have friends from across the globe and people follow us. However, nothing changed our life like Facebook. But now Facebook has to change as Google is at the verge of launching Google+
Why Facebook needs a face-lift:
  1. Google+ will be more graphical and is going to be based on the concept of circles. Circles will be categories of people on your network like family, colleagues and friends; you can make as many circles as you wish. There will be circles on your page rather than a list. Friend suggestions by Google+ will be outside the circle. You can add people by dragging their name into the circle and delete them by dragging the name out of the circle. On deletion names will burst like a cloud of smoke (more fun visually).
  2. In Google+ you will have the option to control your profile view for different people. The best thing is you can see how your profile will look to a particular person by entering their name in the given box.
  3. Videoconferencing will be available in Google+ and you can add up to 10 people at a time. It will be a virtual hangout.
  4. Google+ will give a unique feature ‘Sparks’ in which you can choose your areas of interest say entertainment and you’ll receive latest information on entertainment in your news feed as links.
  5. For logging out, all you have to do is click your name on the screen.

      Google+ is out on trial basis and if you wish to create an account on Google+, submit your email address on the following link and you will receive news from Google as soon as they launch Google+

      But don't you think Google + would just be way too much social networking? I mean there's Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Skype and the likes already existing, which already lead to an overload of information in our brains! :/
      Ah, I hope I don't get hooked to the Google + bandwagon.

      I think people do create profile on many platforms but they actually use 1 or 2 actively, say Facebook and Linkedin. Also, we get bored of technology pretty soon. Once everybody was on Orkut and then people started using Facebook. Many don't use Facebook after twitter. If there is something new in the market, we should try it.
      Give it a shot, maybe you'll like it.

      I think when there's more competition out there we'll get a good product ultimately...Let's see what g+ has to offer...

    Rewind - September 2023

    By -
     I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

    I Am Not Alone

    Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
