A chilly winter Sunday Morning,6:35AM :
"Wake Up!Go Online!Your Strawberries are close to getting Withered!"
That's what his Girlfriend was ACTUALLY telling him over the phone.Startled at first,Furious within Seconds.
"Shut the hell Up and let me Sleep!!!"
*BANG*
(The phone lay on the floor,the Battery out due to the impact the phone just had against the Bedroom Door)
FARMVILLE is a real-time farm simulation game developed by Zynga,an application that is available on the social networking website "Facebook".The game allows individuals to manage a virtual farm by planting,growing and harvesting virtual crops and trees,and raising livestock.This application became an instant hit with all age groups immediately after its release in June 2009.You plant your crops and if you do not come back to harvest them on time,you lose out on all the hard work.
Facebook,Orkut,Twitter,Hi5....Social Networking Websites have certainly changed the way one kept in touch with the social circles till about Three or Five years back.
Orkut became a craze in the Sub-Continent and the Latin Americas in particular once word spread about the website among youngsters.As the popularity increased,the "joining-only-through-invitation-by-existing-members" scheme was taken off to allow a larger inflow in number of members.Facebook in the meantime grew large among rest of the Americas,Europe,and the remaining world.
Twitter was making news for the many celebrities who had got hooked onto the website.
Be it the games,the quizzes,the Fan pages or just the privilege of daily updates of what your favourite stars been eating for breakfast,one thing is for sure.Thanks to these Social Networking web-sites,the world is much well knit today,bringing close families,friends and the big names to the Masses.
Glancing through the home-page of my profile on Facebook,I just discovered my cousin in Delhi has "had a good Tenth Boards and is headed for a trip tomorrow",my Childhood friend in London is "back home inspite of train delays and a punctured tyre" while another dear friend just posted his disapointment over Kolkata Knight Riders' loss to Punjab King's XI.
Five years back,we would not have had a clue of these small happenings in each other's lives.Yes,life CAN go on without these information,but for me,it definitely does bring a smile to my face when I read the status post on the profile of that very friend who slammed that phone against his door that chilly winter morning.
