About "Why People Love Facebook" topic:

Facebook appeals to social animals and can be very addicting to people who have an insatiable appetite to stay connected with friends and make new acquaintances. In fact, some people report they rarely use email or IM tools anymore in their online social communications anymore, relying almost entirely on Facebook for email, chat, image and video sharing.

Facebook addicts prefer the social portal model versus having to log into AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Gmail, Hotmail, Flickr, YouTube, MySpace, etc. Instead, Facebook gives them a single alternative to all these applications, with one login and interface to manage their online social interaction needs. This largely explains the explosive growth Facebook continues to experience and why the company reportedly invested $200 million in data center upgrades last year to keep up with demand!

Postings can be used against the professional by the authority if desired. This can cause devastation in ones career. Remember the NJ schoolteacher who lost her job because of facebook comments for her students?

A person wishing to fail can always find new avenues to the path of failure. Facebook cannot really be the source of it. It is a source to build healthy communications and also as an unique tool of sourcing new practical ideas.

It "All in the Name". The word "Orkut" is unknown and doesn't relate well with people while "facebook" does. It is a combination of two commonly used words "face" "book". The combination clearly works here simply gives the right intent of this...

1st thing is that facebook explores friends of friends i.e. people you may know and orkut has same but orkut show only 4-5, where facebook shows more so we can connect with them. 2nd Facebook has "status" like twitter, where friend can directly...

I am not sure whether this is really happened or not, But I liked it and want to share with all my friend here. Please read once ............ One day Maths teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She...

Many of us use facebook. Job hhunting on facebook does not look much believable and we are forced to think that will it work? Still there are few things which can be done to atleast increase our possibilities. 1. Join right communities and interact with right poeple. 2. Search for apps which have job search options. 3. Potray yourself in the best possible way. 4. Mention your professional skills on your profile. 5. Keep an eye on adverts, there are many job openings in them   We all work hard for a better life and we always want better job than the one we have. So we should use all the possible means to make it happen.

This is what True Love is all about: It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 a.m., when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him look at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer' s...
