Definition; Social Networking means being extra social on the net with friends, half of whom you haven't met physically and being extra unsocial off it ( in real life with real friends).
Note on social Networking:
Iits a new age phenomenon which has caught up with ages ranging from 9 to 99 and is highly beneficial for one's self esteem. More the number of friends, more your esteem.
Recent research shows that lots of men and women have gained self esteem merely by being active on social networks. Its a truly virtual way to achieve real happiness!
Types of social networkers:
A) The Classy Flasher: This is a person who is generally happy and content with life, both on the career and personal front and is a little proud of this fact. He usually has a goodlooking spouse and goodlooking kids, a nice house, fabulous holidays and an array of hobbies., which gives him work life balance. He writes intellectual posts which reinforce his thoroughbred upbringing and and has a cosmopolitan network of friends commenting on them.
B) The Neo Classy Flasher: This person is also a flasher but usually flashes things which he has acquired just for his profile. His pics consist of lopsided poses with modern looking ( which he may not otherwise wear on a daily basis) clothes, clicked just to give a false impression. He thrives on the commentary received on his posts and photos ( usually like 'cool', 'fab', 'se..y, 'hot, etc... )
His posts are usually sayings he only half believes in. His friends usually are a regional lot, belonging to his hometown, but he is forever sending friend requests to people who he thinks are more happening, just to give himself an air of style.
C) The Neo focused one: This one's an introvert and doesn't put up photos or posts. He usually has one or two focused interests and may put up a few links/ photos in connection to this. He is a dry person, but with an innate sense of humour. He may comment on a few posts but make them look intellectual, as if trying to prove that he is interested in the post/ photos/ link out of intellectual interest. Friends usually forget about the existence of this one but he is a silent observer and nothing flees his attention. If you happen to bump into this kind of person even once in 6 odd months, he will reveal,to your utter surprise that he has remembered every post and deletion that you have made. This one's one to watch out for!
D) The Boringly Cautious One:This kind of person usually belongs to the female category. Usually little good looking and sought after, she gets lots of online request as well as interests. This one has a very guarded and private profile as she believes that all are out to stalk her and admire her unnecessarily. Her walls and posts are available only to select people. Ultimately many people forget her existence, but the curiosity level of this person should also not be undermined, as she usually prowls on profiles to check if she has missed anything. This kind of person is usually more active than she wants to reveal.
E)The Dumb Ones: These are people with completely open profiles for being not too net savvy. Their profiles are open to all and sundry . However, usually there isn't too much interesting info to dwell on.
Some advantages of social networking:
1) Tracing old friends who hardly knew you but now swarm around you like flies do around sweets.
2) Getting ready appreciation and attention for any posts, photos that you upload.
3) If you put up a bad post, at least 2 of your 200 friends will like and comment, hence making you feel good.
4) Getting steady stream of information from all and sundry by following their daily schedules right from what they had for breakfast to how they visited the loo 8 times and still survived water loss to the clothes they wore ( as seen on photos) to various parties/ outings and how bad ( or sometimes good) they looked.
5) Selling something that may not be too high quality but because of the general appreciative nature of social networkers, which gets bought for more sum of money than it deserved.
Tips to up your social networking skills:
1) Put up posts which create some kind of intrigue. It invites bored people to comment and makes you feel important.
2) Copy paste intellectual posts. You will get a few responses from people who also want to show that they understand and identify with your post.
3) After a hectic comments spree lie low for somedays. There will be messages on your wall asking where you are is everything all right, hence making you feel important and good.
4) Click some snaps with ur mobile phone cam every now and then laughing and giggling like u would have done if you were a model and as if you generally are a very bubble and happy person . You will receive lots of comments.
5) Put some divine quotes on your profile page, to cast an impression on people.
6) Join some impressive groups, which will reflect your interests and present you as a well rounded person.
8) If you find all of the above failing, poke ( or similar tool) a few friends to jog them out of sleep. Then comment on their walls.
Some general characteristics of social networking profiles:
1) Everyone looks happy. All are either taking vacations or are generally happy in life..ok they have photos of either one or lots of foreign holidays and seems to be having a rocking life.
2) All photos receive positive comments.
3) Everyone has profound interest in serious books.
