I was once, a social media analyst, benchmarking different products on the basis of people's opinion on various social forums using some algorithms developed by me and Rahul .
When I was a newbee, I had not set the clear demarcations between the social media and the social networking, although the differences have got blurred with time.Earlier for me social media and networking was just facebook.The Facebook, originating from the facemash algorithm of Zuckerberg,totally genius product.
Well, everyone knows here what facebook is and I am not here to discuss its capabilities,at this kind of odd hour, with pain originating at the left side of my chest when I sit in a particular posture.
Facebook's competitor was Orkut which vanquished to its root. It was orkut which came out with the idea of applications along with social networking.
Many interesting applications and widgets as slapper, name changer, when will you get married etc.
I was in headstrong that time, slogging my ass for meager money,I hated it man!!
It was the UK shift timings for me.I came to office and someone from the 60-70 people who joined with me ,told me someone died in the cafeteria today.Although I knew the name but I couldn't remember distinctly, how the person looked like.
I went to my workstation, and opened the orkut account, searched for the name of that guy.The page opened.I saw his photos and got the hold of it and was in shock and disbelief that how could something like this happen.I skimmed through his applications and games.He had played this 'When will you die' game on orkut and below that it was written in big bold letters,instead of giving any date, Now is the time you die.I was shell shocked.I asked Puneet and Ravi to come to my seat , they were nodding in disbelief too.
Just a coincidence or something else??
