The Fakers And The Makers.

Visiting networking sites has become a daily activity and a part of our life. It helps us stay connected with our friends, enables us to share pictures, videos, experiences, blogs, blah, blah, blah. In my opinion, to me they have become a niche. And so i feel discontent when i see people misusing it to earn money, easy fame and even causing a hostile environment sometimes without a proper knowledge of things or acute reasons. The biggest problem of which i am just sick off is the number of fake identities that are just sneaking into our networks. I think that the freedom to customize is been taken in a wrong way over here. Taking the advantage of the customize features, i see people creating fake names, obscene content, writing s**t and naming it as thoughts. O come on, atleast stop posting celeb photos and fitness model pics as your default profile pics. Whats wrong with posting your own photo? I think that the website moderators should strictly ban such photos and copyrighted images used as default profile pic. One more point that needs to be looked upon by the websites, is the fact that there are a lot of profiles out there which are using networking sites as a mean for flirting without actually knowing the purpose of it. Okay, it is understandable for a novice user, but the website moderators could do much better in educating such novice users regarding the precise use of the networking site. We have got other flirting and dating sites available on the web for those purposes. Let them know their roles. The idea of increasing the friends count blindly just pi**es me off. I mean how could u call someone a friend who stays a million miles away, with whom u haven’t had any conversation since the time he/she has been added and the purposes of adding was just to reach a milestone of 100 or maybe 1000. Thats not cool. These so called friends are then used as a traffic for their commercial products. WTF…. These are the two things i would want the likes of Orkut, Facebook and Myspace to look into very carefully. I will keep on posting about any other problems which i find in the networking systems. I would love to hear from all the reader of this blog and know about the things which they think would improve our networking activities.
