Every time we surf the net, an automated reminder system comes to life guiding our fingers to type f-a-c-e-b-o-o-k-.-c-o-m before leaving. From everyday conversations to 'Googling' quotes, we try to capture a phrase so as to make it our Facebook status message. We are so embroiled in writing on walls, poking, commenting, 'liking', tagging etc. etc. that we don't even get enough time to think about how these petty things are changing the way we live.4sPFree Articles Directory | Hostsee.com The reason why the website is way ahead of its counterparts is that it gives unprecedented access to public figures and celebrities, has never-ending game list, allows photo and video sharing, tweeting, chatting, mailing all in a single environment.
