A new epidemic called Social Networking....

The latest buzz in the internet is Social networking.This has caught everyone like crazy.If u have a name then u ought to have an account in one of the social networking sites be it Orkut ,Facebook,Twitter etc or else u will be categorized as primitive,backward.These have shrunk the world much more than what television,telephone etc had done a couple of decades back.This has a huge role in making the world a "Global Village".

Many of these sites have gone much further than just connecting people,it allows u to share photos ,videos for everyone in the network to watch it.These have been a platform for many to share their thoughts,express their ideas,promote their business/event/initiative and by large they have been successful.And moreover have helped in rejoining old mates.One important thing these networks have done is to bridge the divide between celebrities and the common man.There were days when celebrities would be far beyond the common man's reach but now things have changed and now one's favored celebrity is just a tweet or scrap or post on the wall away.The sites have fan following in common man and celebrities alike.From Barrack Obama to Narendra Modi, from Brad Pitt to Priyanka Chopra and who's who of wide range of sectors have been fantasized to these networks.These has helped celebrities to reach out to the people especially the youth and express themselves more openly than before.And the joy of just being connected to celebrities via these for some knows no bounds.

The popularity of these are evident by the fact that there will soon be a movie made on the invention of Facebook and its inventor,"The Social Network".So people watch out.
