I'm on FB! Twitter craze.

I was initially cynical of FB because I thought it was of no big deal. I decided to register my ranks with it however, when Meifen told me that I could look for our old classmates on it. I was so excited at the prospect and promptly joined it on the same day afterwards.

I did find some old friends and we have resumed contact. I really cherish these opportunities to do so with them. A couple of them are even in New York and Canada!

Some other things which have enticed me so so much are the quizzes, the groups, the Pick Your Five situations and the gift applications. Friends on my list have commented on the number of quizzes I've done and are probably fed up with my random and countless gift applications, especially food, that I've sent to them!

At the same time, there are some things in FB which neutralise my excessive craze for it. Some applications do not work or take a long time to upload. Some quizzes are created with bad English or are ridiculous in nature. Your status is put out for all to see, so you must be cautious when deciding what to write. People will start asking you questions based on it, and if you are someone rather private, it can be intimidating! Some of the games are not easy to play too! I had a hard time with Pet Society and Hell's Kitchen.

A few local celebrities gave their opinions on Twitter. Melody Chen prefers it to a blog. I think she likes to summarise her thoughts. I love blogging, on the contrary. ( Isn't it obvious? Lol.) I guess I am a person of many words ( and thoughts!). I also feel that Twitter is a mere aspect of what Facebook allows its users to do. Both allow their users to update their status(term in Facebook). Facebook allows you to play games, do quizzes and send applications. I am definitely on Patricia Mok's side in this :D
