MY BLOG : My experience 2010: Friends , Social Networking and Always ON

2010 for me has been year of being always online anywhere and anytime with information and my social freinds.

This has been enabled by :

- Mobile phone curently using Blackberry and wish to have iPhone this year. I wish one of u will present me this year.

-Access to always on Internet

-Access to applications ranging from email accounts , instant messengers (yahoo, msn), social netwokring sites (facebook, Linkedin, twitter).

Facebook has been interesting experience for me and I have been keenly following how powerful connected network of people can be . This social network if used smartly can provide one both social and professional edge over others.

This also brings to some key issues of being always on anywhere is addiction and this is one area where i believe i need to work on.

As parents its also important for us to handle information flow when our kids will be be part of social network .

- Give them exposure at correct age. All sites have recommended age to be part of facebook etc. Do adhere to it , dont think your kid will become smarter.

- Content control is most important , keep watch on contents accessed from computers and phones.

- Keep kids away form phone as much as possible.

- Even as parents we need education to handle information flow to our kids

Content creation has changed over years . facebook is an example of user created contents through wall post, pictures sharing . I have always been prudent to share relevant stuff as there is very thin line between personnal and public information.

Yes phones , social netwokorking are now part of our life and we must use it to best of our use rather then just to kill time. I aim to use facebook in 2011 to drive social work towards society which i have been planning to do for long. You will soon hear from me on this and appreciate support of all.

I look forward to conect to more friends , convert special fringe friends to special one and look forward to personally meeting friends , thanks to facebook which has helped in connecting to childhood , school, college, professional and old crush :)

JAI HIND and HAPPY 2011 TO ALL OF U
