Social Busy-ness!

With the introduction of Web 2.0 the web space the social networking platform is quite giving the developers the run for their money. Started off as a means for communication and also a tool for business Facebook, Twitter and so on have become the epitome of business communication and has revolutionized the old and capsizing trend of direct marketing and business. Companies small, large or even your local stores have started to make use of the cost effective yet influential means to make their business worthwhile to the consumers.

For example the other day I visit my age old Kirana Store (Grocery store) near to my place to buy couple of household stuff, I get the usual stuff and was about to leave and the guy at the store asks me, " Arey Sir aap woh Facebook mein ho na? tmere phone mein bhi chalta hai!humare dukan ke naam ka ek account banaya hai " (Are you there on Facebook? even I have an application on my phone, I have even made an account by the name of our shop) and the smile follows, needless to say I too responded hysterically, "accha hai" (Good).

And here I wonder a couple of days from now there would be people following his page and soon he would start tweeting # welcome to Social Media world.
