..facebooked.

i succumbed.

facebook beckons, but knowing that facebook is moving in the direction of loading its pages with adwords.. and that there is a possibility that some guy can definitely read everything i put up there (regardless of what permissions i set), is just a little scary.

orkut doesn’t have as much detail, but could already be there.

very scary.

i’m getting more and more attracted towards getting a facebook account. it seems to have some awesome concepts backing it up, and some great ideas for keeping people interacting and connecting.

more interestingly, all the cool kids seem to hang out there.

somebody stop me.

confession: i have lost all interest in orkut as a social networking tool.
i rarely ever scrap, i don’t update my album, i don’t randomly surf profiles, i don’t compulsively check the damn site for people scrapping me, i forget to even check the ‘label’ under which it is archived - in short, i find it boring.

facebook, on the other hand, looks interesting. the few times i have browsed using a friends’, its looked pretty involving. the status updates, and the heightened level of interaction make it look pretty neat. this could always simply be that it is different from orkut - i remember going crazy over orkut 6 months ago.

i’m just not sure it is worth the effort on facebook. set it up, add people, message people, check the site, update status.. repeat last 3 steps. somehow social networking seems pretty valueless today. its a classic waste of time and doesn’t even give you the satisfaction of being entertained at the end of it.

or am i just apathetic right now ?
