Hi!
I'm spending a lot of time these days at work and with the laptop free, I spend quite a bit of time explorin different avenues on the internet... my hot favorites are linkedin.com and blogger.com
Its amazing how time flies when I'm making new connections and answering Qs (on linkedin), and while I read blogs on blogger (more than half of which I find geeky and bizarre! in one word, un-relate-able!). There are however a few important differences between the sites mentioned. On the former, I can get in touch with people as an individual, regardless of whether they know me or not... like when I managed to connect with my offshore ex-colleagues (who I'm surprised still remember me after 2 years regardless of d fact dat I interacted with them only a few times during work!) Its a pleasure to someone accept my invitation. A squeal of joy escapes my lips as I eagerly read "ONE NEW CONNECTION" ;-) also, the fact that you can be a part of a community askin n answerin Qs without knowin the person also affords an opportunity to understand the way others feel and think... Jus today in the last one hour I've answered 2 Qs - "Wat is life" and somethin about coming late... N i feel as if I've done a great job by enlisting myself in dat horde of people who have all scratched their heads and wracked their brains to come up with answers interesting and entertainin, educational and technical...
The other site (blogger.com) is where I dont think anyone at all reads or cares about what I write... its jus dat I write for my own love of writin and typin ;-) I used to write a dear diary a few yrs bac so this is like re-living the experience in an electronic way. But I still enjoy puttin words down and reading and re-reading them myself (so what if noone else does!) Also this way I can write what I want without people gainin access to my prive info... I can b anonymous and pour my heart out... thats y I havent let anyone know of this blog... its only for those who stumble upon it by chance! Mebe down d line, I'll let a few folks know about it. Dat's proof enuf of d fact dat I consider thm special... so cheers and congrats! ;-)
Well, as I said time flies when I'm surfing, and it has! need to get home now... hope the rain's died down so I can get home without gettin drenched!
Have a great day!
Luv,
Lonely princess
