Twittering Away

Twitter is the hot topic on the internet these days.I gotta know about this tiny lil brat application a couple of days ago when i was talkin 2 my cousin..And when i heard it for the first time, i was like WTF..what a waste of time..turns out that i am “Spending” quite some time trying to dig up stuff about it from the past few days..
As they say in the site: Its a service to stay connected with friends and family members with an answer to a simple question. “What are you doing?”
Well it really sounds like a bummer when u hear it for the first time,and the same thing happened to me..But actually i’m enjoying it quite a lot now.
I found hundreds of ppl trying to make new Apps trying to integrate it with many social networking websites like Orkut and Facebook,and there are quite a few of em out there.You can now update ur Facebook status using twitter..And it’d be gr8 if these guys come up with an interface 2 link it to Gmail n Orkut status as well..That would be Omega cool..
But here is the best part..I came across this ultimate programmer guy whoz made a jar file out of this called TWIM and it ROCKS!!
In India the WiFi usage thru mobile and 3G networks haven’t gained much popularity..YET..So this app is the one you want to be looking for..It uses GPRS and updates ur Twitter status..Which in turns updates ur Facebook status..
So the next time ur out to a cool restaurant hogging yummy food..or watching a terrible movie..or saw a gorgeous gal..or probably had a narrow escape from an accident(cuz u were looking @ the gal and dint watch out for that car)…
Don’t wait till you get back to post it thru the web….Tweet it LIVE!

P.S – www.Twitter.com for more details and the programmer is Tommi Laukannen

Adaptation

Adaptation is the most common biological behavior..
Also it is a very funny thing..
It makes ppl adjust to “change” in their normal lives easily..Nevertheless it also makes it harder to adjust to “new” changes in lyf cuz of the previous adjustment..
I’ve seen about 5 places by now as my new home..Everytime when i move to a different place..
It becomes easy to adjust to the new place which also makes it very hard to forget the old one..
There are a couple of things which will be lingering its sweet scent even after u move away from it..And its the course of time for it to eventually get replaced by the fresh fragrance of newer things..
Few of such things are the ones which happen totally unplanned, and unexpected..Enigma is always interesting which definitely makes it worth of remembrance..
Meeting unexpected ppl..a pleasant conversation with a complete stranger..a journey with a fren on a diff side..a hitchhike in a place u do not know..
Is it adaptation which makes us enjoy such things or is it the same adaptation to “new” things which makes it harder to forget the “older” ones..

P.S – Will miss you Mysore 🙁
