Social Networking

Recently, many sites started to populate the Internet, trying to create social ties between people. They're called "Social Networking Sites". Sites where you can have a profile, where you can add your pictures, some infos, your interests, your news... and where, of course, you can add a list of friends. Then soon later your friends' list grows exponentially. Because, very often, you'll connect to other people through your friends, or even you reunite with old friends that you lost contact with a longtime ago. I'm talking about sites like http://www.myspace.com/ or http://www.facebook.com/ or similar sites.

On the other hand, we can't forget Blog sites. These also can be tools to reach out for other people. A way to express ourselves. A way to meet people who have similar interests.
I must say that Blogger made me discover that I have a common friend with my long time best friend! After introducing my best friend to the world of blogs, and after illustrating my explanations with a visit to my blog and my friend's blog, we discovered that the latter is a common friend! The world is so small.
Maybe I should thank Blogger (or should I thank Google who's the owner??!!).

Most of all, I should be grateful to my friends for making my virtual visits much more beautiful because of what they post on their recently founded blogs.

Keep up the good work guys.
Long live our friendship!

Definietly, the world has witnessed a major quantum leap in communication and telecommunication facilities due to the introduction of the internet to every home as much as possible. Still, the train is in a non-stop motion, and is promising of a much faster connection, much better enhancement, viz, promising to unleash all the reins of Social Intercourses.
In other words, The Whole Universe became a Connected Village with the very simple tools of accomplishing such connectivity.
Referring to the Main Topic that brought up all this ;-D, I can not veil my great surprise for such an event. Yet, as you have phrased it: it only tells how the world is very small, and that ALike Minds Meet.
I am proud of being your friend.

Among the many things that I admire in you is your positive thinking.
I'm so sorry I didn't have time to talk to you about this topic before it surprised you. Yesterday, I was so busy with my brother's family... I didn't have time to be in contact with you (by the way we really enjoyed eating at Kababji). I'm sure it was awkward, and I felt really bad about it. But no harm was done I hope.
Good Friends attract each others;-)
All the best
