I’ve been using facebook for quite a time now and I must say I’ve been doing quite a lot with it lately. I mean with all the applications you can use I barely have time sipping from my cup of coffee. Where do I even begin?Now I think I want to talk about an application that a lot of us at one point or another have used.

How about Pet Society?Does this ring a bell?Well using it only requires us to make our own virtual pet and customizing them. You can make your pet decide how they will look like. We can change their color depending on our mood, their eyes, ears, nose, almost any physical aspect of our virtual pet we can modify as long as the graphics would permit. After making your pet you get to have a house and a community of pets made up of different pets of different users that you are in a connection with. There are shops where you can and will buy simple necessities such as food(the main food groups in pet society are sweets, pizzas, and burgers; at least that’s how I see it), hygiene, clothing etc. And shops where you can buy appliances, to house decorations, to toys, and face masks and almost everything actually.This application kind of works like how Tamagotchi pets worked way back 1990s. I don’t know about you guys but I was able to have a go at this little maniac then. You can get enjoy having a pet in the comfort of your desktop with pet society. This application is really just an eye candy though where if you like cute cuddly mushy stuff then most probably you will develop a liking to it. Of course we not only get the entertainment and relaxation(yeah yeah I know. Relaxation?) from our pets we also get responsibilities. (more…)

Social Media And FaceBook

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Everybody knows about facebook nowadays. Millions of people have their facebook accounts and I swear they’re multiplying every minute. I started getting hooked about a year ago and I never looked back. I was just a casual user at first(well everyone is), browsing through the pages of Facebook, looking for friends, posting(oh i’m sorry that would be sharing for facebook users) irrelevant words,quotes and the like in my wall, Sharing photos tagging along friends while in the heat of it, anyway you get the point. So everyone start out small but most if not all finish or get big with facebook. I mean everyday I discover new things that I can do with my facebook account. And that’s when you start getting addicted to it. Once you decipher and realize the power of this social networking site it is then that you will use it more and more and yes, even more. From sharing “How I feel today” in your wall to customizing your profile photos to using the now renowned facebook chat to using the infamous ufacebook applications(these may be games, quizzes, or simply just annoying reminders to your account). The things you can do are just endless. Or putting it simply they’re just real plenty(Hey I didn’t mean for that to rhyme but it sounds good so there you go). And it doesn’t even end there. That’s only my perspective, an average user. We can even use this “Facebook” as an advertisement for numerous things. Others see it as a tool for hacking(can’t say I didn’t see that) Heck even country’s presidents and two year olds have their facebook accounts. I even have a friend whose stuffed bear has his or rather its account in facebook! Now having an idea on how much we can do and how far we can go in Facebook you’ll have to ask yourself. How much am I tapping in the full potential of this gigantic networking site?How much more can I use it?And that’s just where you begin realizing its potential.
