That seems to be the sole purpose of them all - Orkut, Facebook and what not. Nothing more. And a place, apart from your beloved IM to put up witty status messages.

There's this application on Facebook called "Compare Friends". On that, three of my friends voted for me when pitted against somebody else for "better singer". If you are one of my friends who voted for me, thank you. Please tell me who you are. I will sponsor a visit to the ENT specialist for you. If you are the person who lost against me (which you wouldn't know, actually), I can only say, please please never ever sing.

Then two days ago, I got this scrap on Orkut from some completely random person:

"hi mate..........tis is --name deleted-- from coimbator............which is best place to study fashion designin p.g..............??? scotland or u.k....???"

This is hilarious on so many levels. And a big ego massage. I get asked for advice by random people. On fashion designing! Wooohooo! Seems like all my hours of watching FTV finally paid off. Dear sir, may I recommend trying out some Italian universities? "scotland or u.k." might not be the best choice. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details, I have been to universities in all three places: Italy, "scotland AND u.k.". Best regards.

In other news, Orkut today tells me that I am the master of every situation.
Sure.

Happy pi day. To Americans, anyway. The rest of us will wait until the 22nd of July.
