Twitter is my new pet and I was shocked to see jyothika, shahrukh khan and graeme smith all connected through twitter to each other. As a curious person I set out to find if they were genuine people and to my expectations they were fake.
So is true, with Orkut, Facebook etc. where we see so many impostors. As I anguished if there is no way to find out the fake ones (dont ask me what I get out of that) a friend suggested this site.
It is for American celebrities predominantly and helped me with information of the twitter,facebook, myspace profiles of Serena Williams and other such huge hits, which included so many NBA players that I have never heard of.
Sadly, I haven’t chanced on an Indian equivalent of that.
Valebrity.com validates this by linking to some official site or route through which we can be assured we are really talking to the celebrity.
In the world of Orkut, however, the problem is different. Ordinary junta like you and me have multiple profiles. One to be a face to the families, and other to apparently browse at girls’ profile and ask them to be friends, with preposterous and hilarious statements like “how long will I wait ya? say yes na?”
P.S. Serena Williams twitters as serenajwilliams with j being her middle name initials.
She could not get serenawilliams as it was taken by the impostor who landed before her.
Addl. Info : The impostor has been suspended due to strange activity. The reason is possibly, user name squatting/spam account
ROTFL 
For quite a while I have been following this cartoon strip called “Pearls before Swine” by Stephen Pastis. This strip has been out for a long time, but hit the popularity charts after Scott Adams praised Pastis’ work.
Disclaimer: This strip is quite American, and may appear a bit biased, what I identify with is the kind of humour only not necessarily the opinions.
All this intro to post this.
See it to believe it!

ROTFL!!
After playing Uno yesterday at a cousin’s place, and talking to a friend about going out and keeping in touch with people instead of net chatting, and reading Rebel’s post, I felt nostalgic too.
After thinking about heavy questions like , what is the world going to and if two spoons of sugar is enough for a good cup of coffee, I decided to do my part to be back in the reality.
I am not (fans be assured) going to stop blogging. This will be my way of reminding the virtual world , how I fare in the reality.
It is going to be ummm…different, to say the least.
I cannot go on Invisible mode,(unless I am harry potter, which is even more fantastic than virtual chatting) . I cannot say brb and still be in the same place, letting the other wonder where we are. I cannot say “I just answered your question, may be it is the service provider’s problem” when some one asks you a question you obviously dont know the answer for.
I cannot , I repeat, I just cannot do multi chatting and gossipping…
But to think of it, atleast you wont get ppl who say, “I think you are beautiful. I am tall dark and handsome. I like all things in your profile. Can we be friends?”
So , let me shake off the virtual cobwebs and go out on a coffee with some ol’ friend..As long as I can make them pay for the coffee..
A girl from UK, Subia Gaur came to India escaping from her parents to marry her internet lover for 3 years, Ashwani Gupta. Apparently, this has been covered in several papers in India and UK. They have married with the blessings of Ghaziabad police.
This made a interesting read for me. And I went on flash back..(pazhaya nenappu)
