Same thing has/ can have different appeals for different people. However, its the "me too" syndrome of social networking sites which is really producing all the heartburn. One thing is successful and next thing you know is everyone is aping them. True, social networks have become real success and certain dialog surround them now like "You are not officially engaged till its there on the Facebook!" All said in humor, but goes on to show how much integrated they have become in our lives. (Might be one of the reasons, Fiona backed off this social network thingie). And this Gazzag, it was way over the top. I know they have to be "not that good" if they have to advertise as now-you-can-chat-with-ur-online friends-too. Buddy! whats new and whats news??? Look at this too, http://www.mindswap.org/blog/2006/11/04/gazzagcom-is-my-new-enemy/ Thankfully, I have been thinking right :P :P ;) :) Hi Fiona and Sandeep,

But it sure helps you stay in touch with certain people whom you dont want to disclose your mail IDs. Yeah i agree with you on this completely.

I quit orkut, not because it was completely useless but just out of a choice of it not really being a value for the mental power it sucked in terms of being responsive and expressive!
