Amita is introspecting on our identities in the virtual space. Go over and comment. It’s an interesting post.
Linked by BA. Join Blogbharti facebook group.One look at the “I, me, myself” broadcasting networks (read – blogs, social networks) gives us a window to very interesting paradoxes –
* Freedom to express vs. anxiety to impress
* I am what I am vs. I am what my orkut testimonials, Facebook superwall say I am
* My life is an open book that can be accessed from MySpace vs. it’s an abridged (painfully orchestrated version) of the open book where only the best looking friends qualify as “illustrations” :)
We can judge the popularity of these sites by seeing their ranking in http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Alexa. Orkut has been steadily rising on the Alexa charts but MySpace is still significantly bigger than Orkut.com.
