Orkut Knows...!!!!!

Do you have a count of how many times you would have keyed in ur email id and password into the orkut login screen..........dont lie ...u must have lost the count....as i have....(n for those..of u who are..not on orkut...take my words...u are in the list of sinners........!!!!!!!!!!




Have we ever paused on a scrap.....a photo....or a friend request......to strain our neurons .....why we are so addicted to these social networking sites........??i dont knw about u but......i knw a bunch of ppl.(including me..)....who are ready to sacrifice their dinners ..just for being there.....ONLINE!!!!!!!




all of us must have heard of one addiction or the other....(kudos to those of who have tried.....it in some form...)...The reason for any addiction...is the sole intension of getting pain or pleasure.....




So the ques is.....how does orkut...satiate ur needs....to an extent to b called an addiction.....


There are many things..(read features)in orkut...which directly stem from the very basic human behaviour patterns....


All the features in some way or the other....can vicariously make u feel the way u wanna feel..


i mean.....things.....which u like doin in real..life..those small things..and talks which make u feel happy and contended....


Lets....start...from the very basic idea of scrapping...comes out from the very basic human desire to talk......(can be a dialogue.......or a group talk...)...now..if u have keenly observed ..ther is this new feature...a small tab..in each scrap...which says "view this conversation"...which is to help u if u scrapped somebody..and forgot the context when u log in after a week or so.........


so..u keep on forgettting...and we'll remind u..........dont u think..thats making u weak(so what....all addictions make u weak..).......but it makes u feel gud...rt..


The whole thing..is like a virtual....outing...with all..the friends.........all.the pics..all the videos......nd wht not...

Now...lets concentrate.......on the updates...about..who does..what....who has added new pics..who has received new testimonials.....who has updated his /her status.....

This reminds of a whole bunch of friends sittin in a room at 3 in the night...gossipin about..about the whole....group...who did..what.....

In this busy world ..nobody has time..to actually.....do those..things in person....(but most of us long for these moments...)...so when this longing...is met...or rather fulfilled..on orkut transcending....geographical boundaries......with almost nothing to spend....the joy gets multiplied and takes the shape of an addiction.....which u ar enot ready to give up.....!!!!!!!!
