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.

facebook is best ever social networking site, people spend more time on it. they can share photos and videos even their routine life activities. it's easy to attract peoples due to it's privacy and security.

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...

Why ca n’t we contain Inflation which other developed nations find it easier to do? Inflation is the general rise in price levels. It is matter of previlages and authority that is mismatched that lead to loss in value of the currency which had been our problem for long where our currency now is so undervalued and is loosing it as a pattern for long time. It all emerges, let us forget about the standard routes of raising rates or restricting money supply or even creating autostabilizers there is a fundamental reason why we have inflation far beyond what may be required by our growth and employment. Suppose if one get an electric connection, one need to also buy an inverter to get sustained power. If one need to buy a car one need to also spend on extra demand of services every half year. If one need to go to an office to get anything now(not now I presume) one need to spend extra income to get it to functional levels. So on and so forth goes the extra income required to meet the...

Steps to take in creating a powerful and rewarding 2012: Write yourself a letter describing your dreams and desires for 2012. Include all the aspects of your life—your business, vacations and new opportunities you would like to explore. Keep adding to the list for a few days. Our thoughts will keep multiplying when we give ourselves the freedom to be honest and not pass any judgment on our vision. When you feel your list is complete, create different categories for your ideas (business, vacations, social events, family and friends). Plug the ideas into the different categories. You will be amazed what thoughts surface. Congratulations, you now have your dream list. Choose both a big and a small dream you would like to accomplish. Plan the two steps you will take this week for each dream. Remember, as my mother always said, “Rome was not built in a day.” Taking time during this quiet time to plan for a powerful and rewarding 2012 is a beautiful gift you are giving yourself. ENJOY...

Steve Yegge originally shared this post: Stevey's Google Platforms Rant I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it. I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their...

Those of which consciousness has been waked a little more than average consciousness of the people, are not feeling the necessity of observance of any in vogue religious rites and practices. ‘Manav Dharma’ or ‘MahaDharma’ (–the obligations of humanity) is their religion (works with deep attachment like religion). Also they are disagreeing to surrender themselves to monarchy. Therefore, monarchy and religion do not want that the human race becomes enough conscious.
