how's your net working?
My friend in dubai called me up the other day and began a tirade about networking sites (which are now the second-largest contributors to wasted work-hours - the first being e-mailing)..he said.. "who thinks up the names for these sites?.. somebody asked me if i was on orkut..and i thought he was talking about some planet on the hitchhikers guide.." i laughed..
He went on.."there's only one networking site that any self-respecting man can be a part of .. please join goodreads.com "... I promptly signed up.
I didnt have the heart to tell him i was a member on orkut and hi-5. i have also been tagged, linkedIn, bitch-slapped and whatever else the internet has ordained for me.
I don't know what it is about these networking sites.. most people say they're a miracle.. and they have been reunited with friends from over a decade back.. i have one question..do you seriously believe you would let go of that friend if he/she was that important?.. and are you going to stay in touch with him/her for the rest of your life?..now that you're both orkutting (or whatever else they call it)
One friend of mine has his "networking-strategy" worked out..he treats them as dating sites..he says.."oh! the women on this site have too much attitude..they're much nicer on the other one..try it..the days of internet dating are far from over..."
they never really took off for me! i wouldn't be caught dead asking a stranger to "make friendship" with me.
Hey tamara (my long-lost pen-friend).. are you reading this?.. send me a scrap..or a five..
heck!!..call me!!
