I swear I never had seen so much people having fun on the internet as much as it is nowadays. Truly we really can say this is the day and age of the world wide web. Just like the commercial with lola techie implies..yes even lolas can get really good on this networking sites. As much as we knoe how convenient it is that we have the internet now for getting a LOT of information, when I say a lot it means down to research for students..(thank God there's internet way back in college)...for shopping (there are very good finds on the internet)...good ol recipes and a lot of how to's and yes the very addictive networking sites...
I personally was hooked up during college days in chatting, yes ym baby! it was more of a past time in college during class breaks or just whatever! But I remember staying up until 2 or 3 am in my kuya's computer just chatting. It will be followed by an episode of sleeping until around before lunch the next day, and my days begins since my classes will start at around 5:30 p.m., typical day for a mass communication college student that time.
I think it was also around that time that my relationship with friendster began..member since Jan 2004 >>>that can be found on my friendster profile..grabe antagal na nun diba..5 years na pala yun..I remember dati nung college ang uso nun ay ang pagpopost sa bulletin board, may mga emo post pa kami ni jasmin..at ang pagsagot ng quiz na irerepost mo..sa tagal na rin nun nakakalap na rin ako ng 396 friends...suddenly internet has been more exciting for everyone...i graduated from college and even during my first work walang kamatayang friendster na ito...
I am in my second job already ng magpakilala sa akin ang nakakatuwang mundo ng FACEBOOK...grabe dati di masyado pansin ng iba para lang daw friendster pero ng mas naging interactive ito because of the shoutout that all of your friends can see, as in lahat ng ginagawa mo at na fe-feel mo na gusto mo isigaw why not! go! malalaman lahat ng friends mo. Plus super get together ang mga h.s. friends, college friends and former officemates, with matching posting of old pictures tapos super okrayin talaga ng everyone. But then everyone would agree na ang pinakapatok ngayon ang applications sa facebook. Farmtown, farmville, sorority life, mafia wars, restaurant city, pet society, fashion wars..at sobrang dami pa. Sa sobrang dami at super adik di ko na malaman kung anu ang gagawin at lalaruin ko, at konting TRIVIA lamang. Alam ninyo bang may caretaker pa ako ng farmville ko na nagtatanim at ng haharvest. Ang patok pa d2 kahit sino, I mean kahit sino talaga naglalaro nito unbelieveble talaga, bata, nanay, lola, kaloka! as in pero masaya! masaya talaga...at dahil diyan clap! clap! talaga para sa makers ng facebook.
Last but not the least ang TWITTER. I remember first hearing it in relation to the name of Ashton Kutcher some bet that he made with Larry King, but I don't know the details. And then second when pam emailed me to start to use twitter. Alam ko nag register pero di ko siya na explore up until i read an article in spot about local celebs using twitter. So I get curious at dahil gusto ko rin ng mga showbiz news insider, hehehe! ayun binuksan ko uli ang aking account at yun i started to explore and enjoy it. Masaya din pala mag tweet at mag follow-up ng mga tweet ng mga gusto mong peeps. So i started to influence and invite my friends to use it also. Wala lang para ma-experience din nila.
Hay kapagod ang journey sa mga networking sites, but it was really fun, bakit nga ba natin to ginagawa, bakit nga ba sumasabay ako sa ganitong mga uso? well number one because it's fun to connect, especially with your frends or classmates na di mo na nakikita tapos suddenly your connected again, it's fun to reminisce those old photos. It's fun to be a child again playing all those applications, it's makes you competitive also and I think number one it's great to be heard to share what you do, what you think and what you feel even for that single moment.
