Social networking:

A hunger for connectedness....!

The social networks like facebook, orkut, twitter, etc. has brought world- wide revolution. It can be your favourite timepass to get F5ed or a source to be connected to your freinds. A decade ago, it might have taken a new person in a new country or a town months to make contacts, find places to hang out or meet people to whom you would love to. But now the whole job is done within few minutes involving few mouse clicks. Thats wow!

Going back to late 1990's, this communication revolution broke out during that time and reached recognization in March,2003, with the public launch of Friendster. Around that time, Fortune magazine prophesied,"There may be a new kind of internet emerging- one more about connecting people to people rather than people to websites." and this came true with the launch of facebook. Although the breakthrough was given by Friendster, but the big winner in the race is facebook, which was founded less than a year after friendster went public. Now facebook has 540 million users who spend about 700 billion minutes on the site every month and you are also one among.

Imagine a country "Facebook" with 540 million population; it did be the third most populous country on the globe. You can live much of your life in this virtual country with a large family of friends to share your thoughts, views, ideas, likes & dislikes, playing games and lots of fun and entertainment.

Lastly, Social Networing has turned out to be the top 11 technologies in the world.
