Chetan, i-Chetan, and now.. we have +Chetan.
Yes, I am on Google Plus. A feat, I am proud to achieve.
As the picture says, I joined Google+ before it was publicly available. The tea-fall seminar which I was talking about in one of my blog posts, had the host asking this question, “Everybody is on Facebook, even Google+ is here.. who all are there?”

On Invitation

Aha! There went my hand, and like the whole spot-light was focusing on me. But that is not the magic, I am here to talk about. The magic lies in numbers, in statistics. Where Facebook and Twitter took some 800 days to reach 10 Million users, G+ takes the jet to reach there in 16 days and that too when signing up is invitation based. Awesome! Though, I find Facebook to be a little less complicated, maybe because I have been with it since 3 years now. Plus has its own grandeur. Simplicity is fashionable. Plus has adopted the simplicity. On Facebook the games were like Soap Serials. You miss two episodes, you’re gone. For example – Farmville! 😛

Race!

Here, on plus, we have Angry Birds. Killer! Lets get back – Simplicity.
An option called circle, a video-conferencing option, a space to post and share. You don’t need to ask for more. You like something, recommend it. Why make a page out of it? 😛

Exit Magic. Enter Attitude.
The second part of this blog is too small. You are fortunate, in short. Attitude is what Google Plus is showing. 10 million in 16 days, people dying to come, begging for invites.. why not make it public. “Itna Bhaav na Bazaar mein dikhana” Google plus replies, “Dikha toh raha hain. The monarchy of Facebook is ending. Here comes my democracy”
Oh! Google Plus. I am loving it. The time is here again, when we teenagers get into the loopholes of these social networking sites – ILLEGALLY! Bwaahahahhaha Muaaahahahhahahah!
