The Rise of Social Networking

Social Networking is one of those many buzzwords you hear flying around the place. While Myspace dominates
discussions and headlines, the silent mover / dark horse is Google’s Orkut. Its not easy to spot Google’s
revenue model in Orkut, but this is as close as i can get to it. Search Quality!!! Google aims to provide more
relevant results on the basis of social networks, associations, interests and skew of geographic inputs.I’ve been using Orkut for over 4 years now, and must add that stickiness is high. While the scrapbook ensures
you login, the Recent Visitors tool ensures you keep adding folks in.

Appended below is a sneak peak of my Dashboard

Marooon 5 - She will be loved!

I’ve been hearing this song non-stop all week! I won’t point you to a download site….i’d say you should buy the CD….these guys deserve it!!! )

Maroon 5 - She will be loved!

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I’ve had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn’t matter anymore

It’s not always rainbows and butterflies
It’s compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door’s always open
You can come anytime you want

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
