Why Social networking Din’t worked the way its meant for…
… I had a brief chat on it with my friend cum entrepreneur ..tho we both think very much on the same line.. but not this time.. he thinks ORKUT and Facebook is doing good.. “I say : NO its not…” OK!! Said he… and asked me to support my point (well this is the first time in my life .. I thought of replying to such calls…usually I just walk off when I feel the person infront of me is stupid or not willing to take my point.) I started on in with a pause.. just to recheck myself : and asked him a favor to point out some features of Social networking.. which he excitedly agreed on..
Martin, you know coz of ORKUT I have more then three hundred friends on my list..
ME: Wow!! Thatz really cool… I know you are a party animal.. J
He : So .. that means .. I am using the power of social networking.. and its working…
ME : You are using the power of social networking..?? dude.. are you really saying that…
HE: Dude.. yes I am..
Me : I really donn think soo..!!
He : Ok ! now u are acting like my stubborn brother..
Me : naa!! Man.. I am not.. let me tell you why I feel Social networking is not working the way its mnt for…
He : now donn become an Advocate of your view..
Me : give me some sec’nd
He : ok.. Meanwhile I do some orkuting… :P
Me : I feel.. its not working coz.. if you check out your MSN + Yahoo! + Gtalk Buddy List … and add it up.. then check with your ORKUT or Face Book List… you will hardly find..couple of people missing.. so that means they are already connected to you in some or other electronic medium.. (I am not counting my Phone book)
He :
Me : hellllloooz
He :
Me : ah! Guess you are too busy scraping or peeping into someone’s scrap book… :)
Me : Anyways.. let me finish what I wanna say ..
Me : Orkut and facebook are really made to make new friends ..get connected with people who think alike.. people who have common goals.. get going with people who we might not even got thru coz of geographical reason or may be some other ..
But do we do.. so… is the people from India are ready to takeup or try to do so..??? No we don’t …
We just login to orkut as a morning prayers .. we chkout our scraps.. (97% scraps are from friends whom we are on IM too… 2 % Spam.. and 1% are from community- which is of any use…) We reply to them.. if found a good looking pic.. we tend to have a look …that’s it..
So wherez network?? Happening..
Me : Fucker..!!!!!!!! u slept???
He : Nope nope nope!.. was registering on bigadda.com
He : you carry on I am goin through your chat..
Me : Ah!!!!!!
Me : GOOD!! You better do it..
He : Man … I take your point but I am not convinced…
Me : ok done! Let me get into it ruff now..
Checkout your friends list and cross check if u have made any new chick a friend just by checking her profile… I am sure u must have checked loads of profiles .. and must have thought linkup.. well linkup doesn’t mean asking her out for a date… hmmm !! now tell me have you managed to make one good friend..?? outta it.. Dude.. we don’t add people working under same roof.. coz of fear or coz of shitty attitude.. how can u expect a networking to work..
Me: See .. I am very clear on networking part.. it is meant for making friends and being connected .. which I really donn see it happening.. anywhere.. some stupid feels there pics will be used so they remove it from profile pic and act as they are very much into the social networking.. there are some Commited people even.. (spl from india) who just waste the resources.. they Signup..fillup up no details.. except the mandatory details and sit ideal and except no body to peep into there profile nor do scrap… hehey isn’t it funny enf..?????
He : Martin… if I think seriously. You are right to some extend. We really never try to connect to people whom we wish to be connected, just because he/she might act or revert rudely. I can check with stats on Dating in India which makes it clear that we people are not that open to make new friends or to share some scraps/hand shakes.. Yep. Even I noticed that most of the commited people do nothing other then sharing some Same old crappy Jokes and cant forget “FORWARDS” I feel they are just here coz everybody is here… nothing else.. what say?
Me : Ah! Guess I convinced someone …. :)
Me : yeh man.. I have a school..chick on my list…she will never scrap.. but will take time to send at lest 3 forwards a day to “To Friends” .. hehe.. I guess they use Orkut as some mail service .. LOL..
HE : LOL!!!! Same here….
He : Will take this chat forward some otherday.. you know I am not good in comingup so quickly on what I feel. So lets catch someday with @ ____ will get my laptop so that we can checkout some real stuff. Say what?
Me : Coo!! Not an issue atall.. Do bring latest crush too.. I assure my lipz will be sealed …
He : LOL!! Done
Well I really don’t know ..was he convinced or not..but who care.. :) it’s a no gain no loss scenario .. so ENJOY.

On photographing babies: Funny..
The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a
surrogate father to start their family.
On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife
goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer
happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning,
Ma'am", he said, "I've come to..."
"Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been
expecting you."
"Have you really?" said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you
know babies are my specialty?"
"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have
a seat".
After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the
couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room
floor is fun. You can really spread out there."
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry
and me!"
"Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if
we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven
angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."
"My, that's a lot!" gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to
be In and Out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed
with that."
"Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of
his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus," he said.
"Oh, my God!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider
their mother was so difficult to work with."
"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the
job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get
a good look"
"Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Yes", the photographer replied. "And for more than three hours, too.
The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly
concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots.
Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I finally
just had to pack it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your,
uh...equipment?"
"It's true, Ma'am, yes. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod
and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?"
"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much
too big to be held in the hand very long."
Mrs. Smith fainted!!

Blackberrys to tame B'lore traffic
ChkOut the Video first : http://www.ibnlive.com/videos/41460/blackberrys-to-tame-blore-traffic.html
Bangalore: You've heard enough about the city's mad traffic snarls but the city is gearing up to make traffic control more sophisticated.
Now the Bangalore Traffic Police will be armed with hand-held Blackberrys to keep track of every traffic violation.
Another heated argument, another traffic violation – it's another day's work for sub-inspectors like Shantinath, who are waiting to put an end to long days of handing out challans.
But help is at hand. New sleek Blackberrys and wireless printers will be given away to 280 traffic sub-inspectors and inspectors on June 1.
Training is on to show how these machines can be used to track down repeated offenders and pin down violators.
“It’s very easy because its secure and we can trace past violators,” said Sub-Inspector Shantinath B P.
Fact is, the server that connects the machines will have a record of every offence. So once you key in a vehicle number, all the owner's past traffic sins come to light. And he would have to pay up then and there.
“We routinely send by post about 2,000 challans but only 25 per cent of the people pay up and its manually not possible to track all defaulters. The main idea is to start people believing that the law will catch up with them,” Additional Commissioner (Traffic) M N Reddi.
And in the coming months, there's going to be more gadgetry to tackle the city's unruly traffic, like intelligent transport systems, area traffic control, modern signal systems, surveillance camera and road signage.
It’s the first time in the country the traffic control will use hand-held computers.
So next time you want to rush that red signal because you're getting late, better watch out – your past will catch up with you as the blackberry won't even shut down its programme if you are repeated offender, until you pay up.
