A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about the reasons I hate Myspace. In this post I’m going to list some of the reason that made me fall in love with Facebook:
- Unlike MySpace, Facebook people have come up with a sleek simple design that looks quite clean evenfor busy social networkers with hundreds of friends and networks. I simply love the design and many people join me on that point.
- FB is a social website that can be painlessly tweeked into a professional working place. You can think of the tools as an altenative to emails, phone calls, snail mail, blogging… WWD have compiled a list of 12 to use face book professionally.
- The news feed in fb help me get in touch instantly with my friends and colleagues without the fuss MSN creates. Of course twitter should get credit for that idea.
- NGO’s and associations with limited financial resources can have their word heard online professionally and reach their traget clientele though advertisng on given networks.
- I can find anyone on fb ranging from my primary school friends to current work colleagues, Kings, CEO’s and famous people. There are goup fans even for the dead. To stop abuse, fb have adopted an efficient privacy policy that helps people connect but at the same time dont get them overwhelmed.
- I can sneak in anytime to learn about what the others are doing (alas, that’s human!)
- People are referenced (most of the time) under their real names unless they mean to deceive the others.
- Applications turn to be highly useful and entertaining. My favourites at this time are : addicted to Boston Legal & Send Coffee
- FB reminds me of my friends’ birthdays!
- I can instantly promote my wordpress blogs!
Do you love facebook as well? Do you have any more reasons apart from the above mentioned? Or do you prefer anoter socialwebsite? Please share.

People take decisions each beginning of year. A simple search on google turns more than 100K results. Some resolutions are about daily life routine like going on diet, more blogging, doing less housework or spending more time with family while other resolutions tend to be more utopic like hoping for a pieceful world, a greener planet or more prosperity to the world.
The one thing I have learnt from taking such resolutions is that there are some things that work and others that simply never do!
This year I have decided to make a wish list for everything that I want and then shortlist it to leave the three most important resolutions to keep. This way, I will have sort of primary resolutions that constitute a priority and other secondary resolutions that might fill up the emty time slots in my life.
2008 Resolutions I’m proud of:
- Reading papers on a daily basis
- Spending the Sunday morning in a café. ( Oh yes, that’s manish!!)
- Responding to ALL emails timely
- Adopting GTD
The 2009 wish list goes like this:
- Get an opportunity to get an MA
- Workout regularly
- read at least a book each trimester
- Reach a satisfactory work balance
- Improve my presentation skills
- Travel more in Morocco and abroad to discover new things
- Publish some of my photos and get a nice pro camera
- Blog more regularly
- Make blogs by themes. One for techie, anothers for my travels with pics and reflections (no later said than done here)
- Get married!
- Seek a carreer change
- Get a car
- get a notebook (laptop)
….and the shortlist is:
To be editted shortly…
