What does your facebook posts say about you?

What’s on your mind when you’re posting something on facebook? Well, depending on your moods, your facebook posts can be divided into irritating posts and non-annoying posts.

Non-Annoying Post- These can be funny or informative.

Funny Posts:

Informative Status Update:

1. Traffic jam at Pheonix.

2. No school today due to torrential rainfall.

Annoying posts

There can be many reasons for posting an annoying facebook status. The main reasons are:

1. Forging your image

2. To induce jealousy

3. Attention craving

4. Narcissism

1. Image Forging- The user wants to change the perception his facebook friends have towards him.

• Yayy! I passed my first semester exams!
• Guess who finally got her driving licence? :D
• Thank you Krista for the amazing day <3 nbsp="">
• Off to Buddha Bar tonite!
• Seemingly, you can now clear your engineering exams drunk :P

Statistically, only 10% of your facebook friends care about what you post! Consequently, 90% don’t give a damn whether you’ve cleared your papers or where you’re going to spend your weekends!

2. To induce jealousy

• Post picture of your new car/apartment/girlfriend
• Hawaii here I come!

I guess facebook is  the place where you can make your friends/ex-es envious of your life!

3. Attention Craving

• ... is cleaning my room!
• What a horrible day!

Some people use facebook cos they’re feeling lonely, but that doesn’t mean you need to post any shitty thing that is happening in your life every minute!

Now, some users would just look at the comments without responding to any of it, and he even likes when ppl are commenting. Others, would eventually elaborate what hap on that day. And there are others, who would continue keeping on the mystery until he’s got many likes and comments…

•  Thank you @blaah @blaah @blaah @blaah for everything you’ve done. All these years of bla bla bla and bla…

This type of user would tag his friends for every little unimportant things!

4. Narcissism- The user likes to brag about his thoughts, his life...

• Pizza!
• Off to KFC, then the beach, then home…
• It's raining!!!

There’re some people who just as soon as they’ve reached somewhere they would update their status:

• I’m having coffee @some_place with @some_people

Seriously, what are you trying to show when you’ve checked in at some place? If you really were having fun, you would not be updating your status simultaneously. I guess facebook was created to be used when you don’t have anything to do, and not to be used as a personal diary!

Before facebooking it*

• I just finished my dissertation!

You finished your paper, so wat? Do you need a medal?

• Posts some news happening around the world: war in that country, presidential election in that country, statistics on global warming, football matches score...

We’ve got newspapers and news websites for that!

• Publishing some quotes from Einstein, Buddha, Jobs, Gates…  

Ok fine you find a post inspiring, and you think by sharing it with your friends, your friends would become more motivated? You want to inspire them, do something inspiring, don't use others quotes! Some people just post these things to craft their image; they want people to see how inspiring you are!

In a nutshell, there're different types of facebook users and somewhere even we've published annoying fb posts!

Bill Gates' 11 Rules of Life

Rule 1

Life is not fair -- get used to it!

Rule 2

The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3

You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4

If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5

Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping -- they called it opportunity.

Rule 6

If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7

Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8

Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10

Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Google 'Let it snow'

After Barell Roll, Google came up with another trick..

Just go to the Google Homepage: http://www.google.com/  and type: 'Let it snow'

As you press enter, snowflakes will fall from the top of your current window and within seconds, your screen will be frozen... You can click on 'Defrost' (Top Right Corner) to stop the freezing effect :P

For the Barell Roll, you must type: 'Do a barell roll'

2 You can launch programs with Shortcuts! 

3 You can open webpages using Shortcuts!

4 It incorporates a Spell-Checker...

Stupid Contests on Facebook

Since last year, many ppl are creating stupid groups on Facebook! ¬¬''

"Mr. & Mrs. Facebook"

"The Official Mr. & Mrs. Facebook"

"Mr & Miss Fb"

Well, stuffs like that... >.<

Basically, users have to upload their pictures on these groups and the ones with the highest number of likes is the winner, i.e. Mr. or Mrs. Facebook!

But there are more than 800 million active users on Facebook, soo how can we based these stupid contests on the hundreds or thousands users who've uploaded their pictures?

Besides, the more number of friends you have, the more number of likes you'd get! Infact, many ppl have been buggin me, either through my wall or through the fb chat to like their picture: " Please like this group < link > & then please like this picture < link> Thank You :) "

Finally, its not about the most beautiful ppl on facebook, but rather the most beautifully edited picture! :p

3 The Einstein! :P

There are a few ppl online who would only post statuses based on scientific, technological, economics stuffs.. Philosophical!

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."

"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it."

"Pure Mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas."

4 Smart & Wise Users

They would most of the time post words of wisdom or inspirational and motivational status..

"It's easier to pretend to be strong than to admit to being weak, but it's better to admit to being weak than to pretend to have strength you don't have."

"Q. Why do men get their great ideas in bed? A. Because their plugged into a genius!"

"Whats the Diffenence between kinky and perverted? Kinky is when you tickle your girl friends ass with a feather. Perverted is when you use the whole chicken..."

"What do you do with a years worth of used condoms? Melt them, turn them into tire and call it a goodyear."

Movie: The Social Network

Today, I've watched the movie: The Social Network, which relates the journey of Mark Zuckerburg, the actual CEO & President of the famous social networking site: facebook.com/

Director: David Fincher

Writers: Aaron Sorkin (screenplay), Ben Mezrich (book)

Stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake

I really think its a movie worth watching and here's the trailer:

Now Kinect is controlling quadrocopter drones

Chinese Magical Hard-Drive

The author works at a hard-drive repair center in a Russian town right next to the Chinese border. A couple of days ago a customer has brought a broken 500Gb USB-drive that he had bought in a Chinese store across the river, for an insanely low price. But the drive was not working: if you, say, save a movie onto the drive, playing the saved movie back resulted in replaying just the last 5 minutes of the film.

The whole service center was rolling on the floor laughing. This was not the first time someone has brought a disk like that. And the previous drives were also bought in China... They opened up the drive right in front of the astonished customer. This is what they saw:

It's a 128-MB flash-drive. Working in a "looped" mode - when it runs out of space, it starts overwriting from the beginning. My friend said they're still trying to figure out how did the Chinese do that. Because the drive reports "correct" file sizes and disk-capacity. And the "looped-overwriting" does not touch the other files present on the drive.

The device looks pretty convincing - lots of tech labels and stuff... The Chinese salesman even saved something to the drive to demonstrate that it "works" in the store.
