Meeting Viral

On sunday afternoon I bumped into a good friend from Baroda – Viral Chhaya. We both met on the upper deck of Cathay Pacific flight to SFO. It was indeed a pleasant surprise as we had not seen each other for 12 years. And then we chatted and chatted… I guess all the old memories came back. I got a very detailed update on long lost friends that Viral is in touch with – I’m so looking forward to getting in touch with all of them. I was happy to see that the warmth between us was the same and there was no pretence. We both promised that we’ll be in better touch.
Status donation for Obama
0Tuesday, 4th November, 2008
Today I was bombarded with at least 500 plus status updates where my friends were donating their status to Obama – it was driven by ‘Causes’. To me it looked like the old-school advertising approach of frequency overkill. I guess a time has come for Frequency Capping or Spam Filter kind of features on facebook so that you need not get 500 status updates with exactly the same message.
