Different kinds of creatures on Orkut

Yes, I don't have anything better to write (or rather type). So what the heck? This is my blog. I would type whatever I like. If you don't want to read it, get the hell out of here.

So, if have come to this line, it means that my blog interests you. So go ahead read on.

Saturday night I have nothing better to do, so I started browsing random profiles on Orkut. Though frankly speaking (or rather typing :D ) I occasionally this site to respond to my friend's scraps. But today's intention to visit the site was different. I had time to kill and I decided to visit random profiles just to check how people make others view their self portrayed image.

Some creatures( I actually mean many creatures) login to orkut to find where their friends are and what is going on in their personal life. I don't understand what pleasure do they get doing so.

Some just upload 100s of photographs depicting them standing next to some great monument. Some with fascinating cars or bikes. Some with their girl friends or wives. And the captions go like these - "Me at Times Square", "Holiday in Las Vegas", "With my better half", "My new car" or "Prized Possession" (to tell ya that the car is expensive), "Birthday in London". Some for the fear of getting their pictures posted on "obscene profiles" just upload celebs snaps or postcard snaps.

Then there are those people who like to tell everyone what they are doing as if anyone cares. Like our Mr. A who has mentioned that he in on a world tour. He hasn't failed to mentioned that he is making everyone jealous. Miss B will mention that no random friend requests are accepted. Mr. C will talk about his latest adventure in some exotic country. Mr. D will put some poetry in their "about me" section describing how much he is in pain. Mr. E will post some random job openings. Mr. F will talk about the latest orkut screen.

Some creatures will keep changing locations and statuses to tell people that they are abroad. Some interesting statuses - "Back to the States" or "Bangkok calling".

No matter for what purpose do people login to these so called social networking sites, these sites will make sure that people waste enough time on these to generate revenues for them.

PS: The writer doesn't intend to offend anyone here. In fact, the writer confesses to be part of some categories described here. :D
