Sorry for not updating this blog for quite some time, I was really busy with my other projects during past few months. Tricks4fun.com has always brought tips, tweaks and tricks. The blog has mainly talked about social networking sites especially orkut. We talked about tips and tricks related to orkut. Now I think it’s time for us to draw ourselves towards other social media sites too.

But why only Social Networking ?, we could have talked about tech gadgets and other technical tips, tricks. The reason being that social networking sites are for every one, from students to housewives and from rich to poor. Social networking sites have brought people on an even platform where everybody enjoys his own space, privacy and interactions with others.

With six crores registered members. Orkut is doing great in terms of traffic and reveneue, and above all it has helped Google to raise their social graph to the next level. Orkut is very popular in south asian countries, Brazil and Latin America. But it has failed to impress people from United States and UK. The reason could be either the orkut could not become viral in USA and UK as it did in some south asian countries and Brazil. The zones where orkut is popular are denesely populated areas of the world which even helped it in becoming a Viral thing.

With orkut becoming more and more popular. Other social bookmarking sites also came into the picture, with likes of friendster, bebo. MySpace has already a large maket share and it seems to continue occupying that much for atleast another few years.

A large event happened in social networking phase when facebook got world’s attention. Facebook brought forward a complete new idea and made a platform where developers are free to create their own applications which could help them in promoting their own websites and other ventures too. WIth that kinda platform facebook is here to stay for long. With facebook, people keep getting new applications and hence new features unlike in other similar social networking sites.

Now with facebook taking over the internet, we can expect Google to do something to take orkut to the next level or atleast somewhere near to Facebook. And as expected they seem to have taken the path of openness as they will be announcing some open APIs for orkut.com which would let developers to orkut more seriously than ever. More developers means more features, more features means more buzz.

So, Social networking is here to stay. The platforms can change, their marketing strategies can change but their popularity is not gonna go anywhere down.

I know a huge part of my blog’s audience love social networking sites. And why not, we have every reason to love them. They have made possible those which look quite impossible, like i never thought i would be able to be in contact with my school friends ever. Orkut was the first social networking site that took my attention, well, not only mine but orkut got an overwhelming response throughout the world especially in densely populated areas like brazil and indian subcontinent. This blog has seen ups and down, but kept on getting good day by day. Tricks4fun.com started its journey with general computer and tech tips and tricks, but when orkut came in limelight we talked heavily about it and related orkut tips and tricks.

Now i have realized that people want some change, orkut is good but we all know that its not the best. Today’s buzz word is Facebook, facebook is a social networking utility that connects people with people. With hell lot of unbelievable features and tools facebook is getting all the limelight. There are many thousands of free facebook applications available over the net which makes you experience the true web 2.0 life. So, from now onwards this blog tricks4fun will talk about facebook and its related applications. But don’t worry we still love our own orkut.com and will keep you updated with the latest about that also. Apart from them we will now be talking about other new popular social networking sites also.

Its Official, our own orkut.com has been chosen the MTV youth icon for the year 2007. This is very good news for all orkut lovers, it’s been our collective effort that this popular social networking site has come to this stage. We must thank Google for providing such a wonderful tool.

Orkut has changed our life in some way or the other. We remain in touch with our old friends with the help of orkut. I was amazed to see its nomination in MTV youth icon award, after a bit of thinking i realized that it’s the true youth icon. Having tough contenders like Rang De Basanti, Abhishek Bachchan and Multimedia celphones, orkut came out of the crowd and got the crown.
