hmm… Well its weird. Actually nothing new for me. Lately everything is getting weirder and more weirder for me. But this one is something on which even you will agree because its so uncanny..!
Those who orkut will surely agree with me on this.. and are not psycos like the cases which i have mentioned here later on in this post! You must have come across this “send to all” feature on orkut somewhere or the other, unless you do not have a single person in your friend list!! I stopped orkutting some time back.. Very rarely i used to go online there and write on someone’s scrapbook, that also being one of my very close friends whom i have not contacted for sometime…
But these days people just send scraps to anyone and everyone without thinking.. there are some acquaintances whom you just add bcoz they are from same college.. or have a common friends. Its so weird that people hardly know everyone and send a common scrap!!
you would not have even seen the person.. sometimes you wont even know his/her name and then also you ll send something like
hiiiiii how r u??? howz life gng?? rly,tc,bye
its even more arbit at times..
Hi, I lost my brand new NATRAJ HB pencil with a rubber attached. The pencil costs Rs.3/. If u forward this msg I will get one paisa from yahoo. If you have heart and want to help a poor child in need, plz fwd it to atleast 10 friends. Please don’t neglect. Otherwise my mom will scold me. If you forward it then your life will change for ever (u will get one pack of sketch pens and an apsara non-dust eraser within 3 days). Do NOT delete this message otherwise greek gods will get angry with you and your life will be pencil-less forever. Good Luck will come to you for wasting time
hahahaahahahahahahanahahahahahhahahahaha
Isnt a post like this irritating.. i just feel like kicking the sender’s a**! sorry! π
well there are some funny cases also like this one
hi.let me know that u hv received this scrap………..
or some desperate ones like this
Anyone online???
i m getting bored…
One more thing that annoys me a lot is that they keep sending something like
this is from Diana, the director of orkut…orkut if gonna delete your profile in one month…blah blah
or something like jai mata di, send this to all and you ll pass in your examinations..
or sometimes like this poor girl is in need and needs some cash, plz forward the scrap..!
Well people have got addicted to orkut now.. i have seen cases who just live here…24 hours! I noe this because they keep sending some arbit stuff abt joining some stupid community or some forward and i get notifications on my gmail account. Well, i guess its high time for me to change my orkut settings..
It was started as a social networking site.. where people can meet others.. maintain contact as you cant keep calling everyone, or even for professional purpose(have seen so many communities where actually discuss abt work, technical stuffs, business, books etc). Some times all this is fun..but only sometimes..! its getting irritating now!
Am actually planning to delete my orkut account. There are much better ways for maintaining contact like mail, instant messenger, or even writing posts! yeah i m talking abt the sending letters! i noe its a slow process but its not irritating!
Orkut was meant for social networking and not social addiction or mass chaaating!!!
ps: If you are so sure about it, say it aloud!! Let everyone hear it…!
