coming off from work, started using social networking sites, i was one of the late entries in orkut and was amazed how all friends who i never hoped to meet where there right inside my machine,scrapping me messages, sharing photos.wow..really cool.
then one of my friend introduced to blogging. it was instant. blogging was like writing diary, i kept writing,writing,writing without caring how many people ever read my blogs. solitary comments came now and then, asking me to keep writing.sometime i read back the old blogs and relive if there are any special moments i have written and also gets amazed sometimes on my poor writing skills.
one thing i noticed in blog world is tamil blogging group,the group was a very interactive group, and i also noticed that tamil bloggers took special care in encouraging new bloggers to write by giving them awards, referring blogs within blogs. acknowledging good writing. and also somehow all bloggers looked like close friends sharing all good and bad news amongst readers.sometimes forming a group and helping people financially and morally on crisis situation. but along with these comes the negative part, you will see few comments, like writing bad about one personally, also some even writing a full post just to attack someone personally, and sometimes even ending up in body blows, hospital admissions (even these body blows and hospital admissions will be published in blogs). and there are few people who feel like writing whatever in mind is a very good form of writing and use bad words very liberally on a public forum. here i got a bit cautious, i like writing in tamil and i like arguing without any purpose (mostly to irritate the author on the subject), hot topics in tamil blogging will always be on religion divide(another matter of concern).i wish to read and write cautiously(to avoid body blows) more on tamil blogs.
the latest addiction which is stopping me from publishing my weekly blogs, twitter, i was attracted to twitter mainly because twitter was always the first to report a breaking news across the globe.it was twitter that reported president obama called kayne a 'jackass'. being a news maniac i signed up to twitter and found that it is actually a micro blogging site. to be simple you can blog in 140 words. and if you follow people correctly, just login to twitter and you will know all that you like to hear and read on internet on a single screen, many business are using twitter now, recruitment agencies are also using twitter for recruitment.if you wish to follow me you can follow at http://twitter.com/Sammy_I
after starting to use twitter,i hardly login to my orkut or facebook account.hopefully my blogging is not as much affected like orkut.
