Creative internet memes on Facebook spread like wildfire!

Posted: 08 Dec 2010 12:17 PM PST

All social networks contain a lot of strange events happening. Information spreads rapidly across continents and similarly harmless meme’s also spread fast. Facebook has a new online meme or rather a new game that a lot of people are playing. The game is quite simple. It was first posted on Fbknol our blog on all things Facebook.

Rules of the Number Game:

Ideally lets say someone sends you a number in the form of chat or a Facebook message. This number can be used by the you to say something about that person.
Most times that number is added to the status message left on the Facebook Profile.
This actually is like sending secret messages to friend without actually hiding them.

Personally I am not a fan of such games or internet memes, but off late there have been a few Meme’s that are happening on Facebook. Like the latest one about changing your Facebook profile page into a cartoon character.

Maybe someone should analyze and do some research on how such things spread on Facebook and other social mediums to simulate how even real news ends up spreading like wildfire on the internet.

What do you think about these things? Do you think such things are harmless fun or actually can show how things spread in the virtual world almost at the speed of thought.

Free GPS on your phone – Waze

Posted: 08 Dec 2010 12:47 AM PST

People in India have a tough time overcoming traffic everyday, as they are hardly aware of alternative routes, intensity of traffic in a particular area, roadworks, etc. Waze is a free mobile application which has been in existence over a year now and a very few smart phone users in India are seen using it.

A general inclination is towards Google maps, mainly due to its popularity. Waze is a fairly new kid on the block and has an edge over other GPS maps, as it enables the drivers themselves to build live maps. It also gives them the power to inform people in the vicinity about real-time traffic updates, accidents, road blocks etc. The new routes created by the commuters, are added to the database of waze.

Thus, the more we drive with waze on our phones, more maps are created. If I was not eloquent enough, here’s a video explaining how waze works!

Waze can be downloaded to the following smart phones :

iPhone
Android Phones : HTC Dream G1, HTC Magic, Motorola Cliq, HTC Hero, HTC HD2
Nokia: E66, E75, N82, N85, N95, N96
Windows Mobile : HTC Touch Cruise, HTC touch HD

Check out waze.com to see whether your smart phone supports waze or not.

In India, Satguide (India's GPS Pioneer since 2005) is providing a satguide-waze package completely free of cost for the growing Indian Community of smart phone users. Check out satguide-waze Here.

Try it out on your smart phones and leave feedback and comments.
